Beverley Marlow MBACP (Accred)

Profile

I provide a safe and comfortable environment where I will listen to you with empathy and respect and without judgement. I believe that counselling is about helping you, the client to make sense of your thoughts and feelings so that you can then make decisions about what, if any, changes you wish to make in your life. I understand that whilst some clients know where their problems lie, for others its not so clear but they do know that they are distressed and feel unable to cope as usual with everyday life. Counselling provides an opportunity to clarify the issues through greater self-awareness and so better understand the options for change available.
I am a British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) Accredited and UK registered counsellor offering short term, focused counselling as well as open-ended work with children of 11+ years, young adults, adults and couples.
As an Accredited member of BACP I am bound by the Ethical Framework for good practice, carry Professional Liability insurance and attend regular supervision.
