About me
I'm Marlie, a qualified therapeutic counsellor based in Tuffley, Gloucester. I offer a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore difficult emotions, experiences, or patterns in your life.
I understand first hand how overwhelming it can feel to reach out for help, and my role is to walk alongside you at your pace. I'd describe myself as a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth counsellor.
How I Work
I work integratively, which means I draw on different counselling approaches depending on your needs and I adapt to what works best for each client, because I know from personal experience that counselling is never one size fits all.
I support adults facing challenges such as:
- Anxiety & Panic.
- Depression & Low mood
- Trauma & Abuse
- Low self-esteem, low self-worth & Imposter syndrome
- Life changes, loss, or relationship difficulties
Sessions are available in person at 2&6 Therapy Rooms Tuffley or online, giving you flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable.
My Approach
- Compassionate & collaborative: You are the expert on your own life, I provide guidance and support, not direction. In other words, I won't be telling you what you should and shouldn't be doing.
- Evidence based: I use proven therapeutic approaches, adapted to your situation.
- Professional & accountable: As a registered company director, I operate with integrity, transparency, and commitment to ethical practice.
Next Steps
If you're considering counselling, the first step can feel daunting. I offer an initial phone call, free of charge, so you can ask questions and see if working together feels right for you. You can book that call by clicking 'Book intro call' at the top of my page. Alternatively, you can also email me by clicking 'Email me'.
*If you call me directly, please leave me a voicemail as I am likely to be in a session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified therapist in Therapeutic Counselling and am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy)
I started out training with Listening Post who run a counselling charity, I was lucky enough to work with them whilst gaining lots of experience working with various issues such as; anxiety, depression, abuse, anger, stress, bereavement, low self-esteem and trauma.
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.
