About me

Sometimes we don’t know where to turn as  anxiety or depression can feel debilitating but reaching out  can offer a better perspective and make sense of the world. Through looking at your processes you can have the opportunity to understand and change your experience.This can range from feeling disengaged to having disproportional responses.It may be you hope of finding peace or you want to move away from old hurt.

My name is Marnie and I practice Person centred therapy. Originally from a business background I am well grounded in the realities of life. I also bring my own experiences of life and loss and crucially an understanding of your unique story. I can help people gain greater understanding of themselves and look at the ways their experiences may be affecting them.This could be lack of purpose ,disappointing relationships or dissatisfaction at work.In a safe and confidential space the opportunity is available to explore why you may not be  feeling yourself or enable you to be the best version of who you are.Sometimes we can make decisions that we’re not aware of during times of vulnerability, but these patterns don’t serve us well later on. The opportunity is there to get to the root of beliefs that are causing discomfort by making connections on how you think and behave today and  questioning if these choices are helpful to yourself, relationships  and situations.

By having someone support your emotions,thinking and behaviour it will enable you to move forward.You can also benefit from learning to steady yourself from the effects of stress and not let these feelings disable you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

PVG Scheme info

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
