About me
Hi, I'm Mari, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I offer hopeful and compassionate therapy to people who are struggling. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any number of life's challenges, you can expect from me warmth and acceptance. I will support you to share your troubles and welcome all parts of you without judgement.
I trained in integrative humanistic therapy, with an emphasis on what it is to be a human in the world and all the challenges that comes with. I believe that you are the expert on yourself. I take a gentle, investigative approach which may include looking to your past experiences and early relationships as well as what is happening in the moment to help you achieve a greater sense of self-awareness. Knowing yourself better can be a powerful resource to make changes, acknowledge challenges you are facing, and cultivate self-compassion.
I also specialise in perinatal mental health via Nesting Mind Therapy working with mums in pregnancy, postpartum, and in all aspects of parenting and motherhood beyond.

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.
