Prianka Mehzabin
Prianka joined the MTM counselling team in October 2014 and is Tracey-Leigh's longest serving counsellor. Counselling is a role that Tracey-Leigh knew almost instantly that Prianka was born to fill. Prianka is kind and caring and her genuine and supportive nature helps clients to immediately relax in her company. Tracey-Leigh loves the way she listens, thinks and relates to her clients with such empathy and warmth - and that she is so intuitive and effective, achieving amazing outcomes with clients.
With great instincts and a real gift with people, Prianka is not only a highly qualified and experienced counsellor, she has the natural ability to engage with clients and couples and put them at ease, creating a lasting bond with them. She is extremely popular with clients.
With a background in Social Work, Prianka is experienced in a wide range of issues with diverse groups of people and cultures. She is insightful, reflective and genuine and her skills have continued to advance during her years here at More Than Mediocre - and Tracey-Leigh trusts her inexplicitly.
Prianka works well with men and women, couples and families and supports clients through whatever issues they may be facing, issues such as conflict, relationship struggles, grief and loss, separation, blended families, anger, confusion, loss of direction, adolescent & behavioural issues, parenting, stress, anxiety and depression.
As a daughter, sister, student, wife and mother of 3, Prianka has experienced her own life struggles. These have resulted in a deep understanding of people, emotions and pain that has expanded her empathy, wisdom and trust in her clients to overcome pain and find the light on the other side of our darkest moments. She uses this to help others explore and express what they are feeling, identify needs, heal from past hurts and connect with others.
Karleigh Phillips
Karleigh joined the MTM team in 2014 as Receptionist and PA to Tracey-Leigh and in 2017 she moved into the role of Relationship and Life Coach.
Karleigh has a warm, friendly disposition, loves people and brightens up the office with just her smile alone. Karleigh truly shines when working with individuals and couples on relationship behaviours, communication skills, understanding personal boundaries and identifying emotional blocks. Her ability to implement effective strategies and stimulate powerful mindset shifts with clients is remarkable, stemming from a wisdom and experience that is well beyond her years.
Karleigh is intuitive, naturally empathetic, quick to identify issues and has a unique gift for supporting clients to expand their realm of possibility and to see what is truly possible for their lives. She uses a host of tools to support and help clients learn skills, make distinctions, gain faith and confidence in themself and others, and find the courage to implement the steps needed to make their vision a reality - and her clients love her for it!
A mum to 4 beautiful children, Karleigh balances her family life with her work and other commitments and fully understands the challenges faced by young families - as parents and as a couple.
With over 10 years experience working extensively with couples and families, she is able to support a deeper connection and improve communication and understanding between them and she has the strength and instincts to challenge clients to go deeper and also to support them through intense moments of pain and heartbreak into relief and reconciliation.
As Tracey-Leigh's daughter, Karleigh has grown up with the influence of her mother's teaching, insight and guidance throughout her life and has been involved in outreach activities and the counselling industry from a young age, but don't think that means she has not experienced her own personal challenges in life, such as learning to deal with her estranged and anger-challenged father from a very young age and to adjust to new members in the family, just to name a few. Karleigh has now trained under, and worked alongside Tracey-Leigh for over 10 years, growing her understanding of life, people & relationships and developing her own unique gifts. In fact, Karleigh has lived practically her whole 30 years of life "in training" for this role.
