About Me
I'm Marisa, a highly qualified, accredited and experienced therapist.
*AT THIS TIME TELEPHONE AND ONLINE VIDEO SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE*
I'm based at the Elland Wellbeing Centre, a comfortable and relaxed safe space with parking available.
Qualifications
I have a degree in Psychology and a post-graduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am an accredited,registered member of the BACP.
Sessions with me
I offer one to one counselling, on a short or long term basis. On average a patient will need 6-8 sessions.
I work with adults, children and young people.
I treat most presenting concerns e.g. depression, relationship issues, anxiety, self-esteem, abuse (recent or historic), bereavement, anger issues and work stress.
I enjoy helping people to free themselves from their problems, reach their potential and become the person they were meant to be, or used to be!!
I advocate the person-centered approach over labelling 'disorders' and prescribing medications.
I ask 'what happened to you?' not 'what's wrong with you?'.
I offer an initial consultation over the phone or face to face as I feel its important that my clients feel comfortable with myself to move forward and reach their goals.
If you would like to discuss the counselling I offer please email or call me.
Evening and weekend appointments available!
