About me
Providing Counselling and Therapy in the Lincolnshire Wolds area. I have my therapy room based Swaby, just off the A16. The room is a quiet, relaxing space, that will enable therapy sessions to take place in a confidential and safe environment.
I am also now working online and find this has worked really well with clients. Many have found that being in the comfort of their own home makes discussing issues easier. Why not give it a go! Using this platform means I am not restricted geographically, so if you don’t live in Lincolnshire, I can still see you as a client. Also, if you have mobility problems or can’t drive, you can still have access so a fully qualified counsellor.
Marellis Counselling and Therapy can offer support to help unravel those challenging times that life often throws at us. By using an integrated approach, I can help you find the appropriate skills to allow you to move forward.
I am experienced in working with the following issues:
- anxiety and stress
- panic attacks and self-harm
- grief and loss
- self-esteem and low confidence
- family and relationship issues, divorce and separation
- PTSD, abuse and domestic violence
- problems faced by young people, such as bullying and young carers
- Disabilities
- OCD and phobias
- Parent carers, who look after disabled children or young people
Please feel free to call or email, to discuss your situation and book a therapy session.

I have experience in working with Young people and have held placements in school and college Counselling services. My work often involves creative therapies and can be adapted to work with individual needs.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have worked with young people using creative therapies, which have proved to be very successful. I use my own materials that can be used by clients in the therapeutic process. Working online is not a barrier to creative therapies, I have trained to work with various creative techniques, such as guided visualisation and have access to many resources suitable for using with online therapy.

Further information
During the pandemic restrictions, I worked with clients online and find this type of therapy offers a personalised approach, which can work just as well as face-to-face sessions. Often clients feel more comfortable in their own homes and in my experience, this has worked extremely well.
