Profile

My name is Marjorie Clare.  I have been practising as a talking therapist, professionally, for over 11 years.  I am a highly qualified, experienced counsellor/psychotherapist, accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also am a qualified Casework Supervisor, offering supervision to other therapists. I offer a foundation of person-centred therapy, and due to further training I have undertaken in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), I incorporate this approach into my practice.  CBT is successfully used to help with depression and anxiety, amongst many other issues.  Additionally, as a fully qualified hypnotherapist, I am able to integrate these further skills into my practice, if I feel it would help, and the clients wishes to undergo hypnotherapy.

I have been practicing privately for over 6 years and previous to running my own practice, I was the Manager/Co-ordinator of a Counselling and Wellbeing Service within the 4th largest Further Education College in the UK. As well as working privately, I also work as a counsellor/therapist at a university.

I offer therapeutic support to a diverse range of clients, including those of all ages, ethnicity, gender and ability.   I have worked in a Health Centre/GPs surgery, and a complementary therapy clinic, working with the patients (as clients) in both settings.
   
I am used to helping clients with all sorts of problems and issues, and would welcome you, and your commitment, so that we can work through them together.
 
So, what is counselling/psychotherapy?
Counselling/psychotherapy provides the opportunity and space for you to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else.  It can help you find more effective ways of coping, and help you to understand your feelings better.  It can also be about a need to find out about yourself, and what you want out of life.  It is about being accepted rather than judged, or criticised.  It is not about giving advice, or telling you what to do.


And what is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy combines the idea of talking therapy (such as counselling/psychotherapy) with the use of hypnosis, to help clients with their issues and problems.  It can be used to help you give up smoking, lose weight, reduce your anxiety levels, and feel more confident.  It is also useful for people with phobias, and post traumatic stress disorder, and a host of other issues.  If you are unsure if hypnotherapy would be helpful for you, why not give me a ring, and we can discuss your needs over the 'phone.
   

What sort of problems could you talk to me about?
You can talk me about anything that might be worrying or upsetting you.  For example:

  • You may have worries about your health, or fear for your safety.
  • Maybe you are worried or upset about your partner, friends or family.
  • You may feel under pressure from your work or studies, or be worried about your future.
  • You may feel discriminated against, bullied or harassed.
  • Someone close to you may have died, or be seriously ill.
  • Perhaps you feel lonely, isolated or rejected.
  • You may have painful memories of events that have happened in the past.
  • Or you may just feel unhappy, and not be certain why.

Who will know if you seek help from me?
As a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice (you can find this at www.BACP.com).  This means that I will not talk to anyone about the fact that you are seeking my help, and anything you say to me will remain private. There are some exceptions to this promise of confidentiality, and these will be discussed in more detail with you at the beginning of your first session, but in the main these exceptions relate to having to break the promise of confidentiality if you talk about anyone who is at risk of being harmed, injured or abused.


What do I mean by confidentiality?
Confidentiality is an ethical standard that I commit to  honouring, and something I take extremely seriously.

Other details Each session lasts 50 minutes.  You can agree with me about how many sessions you might need, and this can be discussed at the first session, and then reviewed as you progress.

Please may I ask that you try to arrive on time, to ensure that I have finished any earlier sessions with previous client(s).

Free parking is available on the two supermarkets across the road from

Further Information

The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy is the professional body which many qualified counsellors and psychotherapists belong to.  To become a full member, you need to have passed a standard (at least to Diploma level) in a counselling qualification.  Furthermore, counsellors/psychotherapists can undertake a further element of intensive study to gain Accredited status.
