About me
Hello, I'm Marcia.
With 18 years of experience in the counselling profession and 16 years as a qualified integrative counsellor, I offer a warm, supportive and compassionate space for individuals seeking understanding, acceptance and personal growth.
I specialise in areas that often involve deep rooted relational patterns. These include borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, neurodiversity, attachment styles, and the impact of narcissistic dynamics in relationships.
My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic models, including person-centred, psychodynamic, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness and transactional analysis (TA). This allows me to tailor our work to meet your unique needs.
I offer short and long-term counselling on a one-to-one basis, available face-to-face, online, or over the telephone.
My practice is located in the village of Corby Glen, offering a private and welcoming setting with convenient parking. Just minutes from the A1, it is easily accessible from Grantham, Bourne, Stamford, and nearby villages.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and find a way forward that feels right for you. My aim is to create a safe and trusting space where you feel truly heard and supported.
If you're ready to take the first step, feel free to get in touch with any questions. We can arrange an initial session or a free introductory call, whatever feels right for you.

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.
