About me

Hello my name is Marsha and I offer you a warm, safe, confidential and non-judgmental space, where you can feel free to explore your experience of life and express your thoughts and feelings about the difficulties you are facing.

I can help you to understand yourself and to discover and strengthen your own inner resources so that you can then make decisions about what, if any changes you wish to make in your life. You may understand where your problems lie, or it may not be so clear, but you do know that you feel unable to cope as usual with everyday life.  It can help to talk to someone neutral who is trained to listen with warmth and kindness and accept us for who we are.

As well as my private practice, I also work with TBC Healthcare, helping people work through their relationship with food and their emotional eating often linked to childhood abuse and trauma.
Grief, Loss, Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem and Trauma are also often predominant factors.

I have also volunteered within a community counselling setting, carrying out longer-term therapy and for Kent University's Well Being Team.

Trained as an integrative counsellor, I offer short-term focused and longer term in-depth counselling for a wide range of issues. These include generalised anxiety, depression, difficulties with relationships, stress, bereavement, childhood trauma and abuse, addiction, and lack of self-esteem and confidence.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified counsellor and have a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.

I am also trained in;

  • Trauma Counselling for Childhood Sexual Abuse and Rape
  • The Psychopathology of Obesity & CBT tools for working with the overweight Patient

A Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP). I am bound by BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also an Accredited Member of National Counselling Society (NCS) which is also Accredited to the Department Of Health`s Accredited Voluntary Register (AVR) scheme. As a practising counsellor, I have regular supervision and CPD. I have a current Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Certificate and hold professional insurance.

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society

This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training 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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
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.
