Profile
Searching for a counsellor means that you are aware of your problems, struggles, pain and or difficulties, that you want to face them, deal with them and get on with your life. It takes self-respect and strength to take the first steps to help yourself. And, in taking these steps all manner of concerns can be stirred up. Understandably. It is, after all, your own well-being we are talking abut here; a very important and deeply personal part of you, your life your future.
When our lives are all somehow 'messed up', when we feel under stress, when everything is wrong - we feel empty, depressed, anxious, paralysed. We thrash about looking for a quick fix. We use 'things' to deal with our emotions and feelings. I don't offer you a place where you will find a shallow fix. But I do aim to offer you a place where you can be helped to really understand what is going on for you beneath the surface.
People often say they feel guilty investing in themselves in this way. They may be used to caring for others and feel uncomfortable focusing on their own needs. In reality the opposite is true. When we invest in (or take care of) ourselves we can come to respect and value ourselves in ways that are fundamental to life satisfaction.
More and more people from all walks of life are searching for a good counsellor. It is because of the increase in demand that I now provide private counselling from 2 practice locations: the LE9 area of Leicestershire and from my consulting rooms in Stoneygate, LE2.
My websites: Primary Counselling and Leicester Private Counselling are full of information to help you.
Helping people who are experiencing personal, emotional and relationship difficulties in their lives is what my daily work is all about.
LE9: My practice is located in a peaceful village in West Leicestershire. Close to Blaby, Desford, Enderby, Glenfield, Glen Parva, Groby, Hinckley, Kirby Muxloe, LFE, Narborough, Nuneaton and other parts of Warwickshire means the location is easily accessible to many. Parking is available immediately outside. You can access more information by clicking on the Primary Counselling website link at the top of this page.
LE2: My private consulting room in Stoneygate is located within a quiet professional setting just off the London Road. Parking is available. To find out more about this counselling practice, how I work and how I might help you: Click here: Leicester Private Counselling
I offer the following:
Brief focused or more in-depth counselling for adults
Personal therapy for counselling students in training. It may interest students to know that my theoretical stance is primarily contemporary psychodynamic and object relational.
Counselling for young people - 18 plus. I have years of experience working safely and therapeutically with young adults.
Confidential employee counselling funded by employer. This can be provided on an as and when needed basis.
National Telephone Counselling and Bereavement Support - available from 9.00am - 10.00pm, 7 days a week. Phone Counselling is only £25.00 per session and offers you the chance to talk to a qualified counsellor from the safety and comfort of your own home, wherever you within the UK. How do you arrange a session today? Simply click on the website link at the top of this page.
I understand how difficult it can be for any of us to acknowledge that we are struggling with a problem or difficulty. It's therefore hard sometimes to take the first step to talk to a counsellor. Making contact, by phone, or email if it feels easier, is experienced by many people as a first positive step in the right direction. We can then talk through what you need to know and what you are looking for.
Although I accept referral from Doctors, Occupational Health Specialists and other professionals
most people contact me directly.Training, Qualifications & Experience
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work within their comprehensive ethical code of practice ensuring that appropriate standards of professional conduct are maintained.
My core professional training was undertaken within the University of Leicester's Counselling and Psychotherapy Department and I hold recognised qualifications.
I have extensive counselling experience within different contexts helping adults and teenagers through all kinds of difficulties and painful situations. Aside from my private work I work therapeutically with young people in educational settings.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
The above is just a guideline. For example, people may come for anger management counselling or because of relationship issues and discover that what lies behind these difficulties is the real problem. Equally many people seek out counselling not because they feel in crisis, but more because they feel unhappy, worried, alone, unfulfilled and have a gnawing sense that there has to be more to life.
Whatever you are struggling to deal with, counselling - either face to face or over the phone - is experienced by many people as a really helpful way forward.

Further Information
Available Appointments:
One of the many benefits of private counselling is that you are not left for months on a waiting list. People need to feel able to seek out counselling a the point when life feels difficult. They need the freedom to choose who they sense 'feels right' for them and who is available at times that fit in with their lives.
People who work can be offered a session time in the evening or on Saturday.
To find out more or to arrange an initial introductory session you can call me 7 days per week at anytime between 9.00am and 9.00pm or, if you prefer, send me an email.
There are times when you may get the message leaving facility. I access messages on a very regular basis so be assured that your enquiry will be responded to within a short space of time.
You lose nothing by making contact. You may however gain a great deal. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Marina
