About me

Welcome

Hello, I'm Marta. I offer a warm, creative approach to counselling and therapy to support you in navigating the challenges and complexities of life.

I’m deeply interested in what we all share – like the need to be seen and loved and protect ourselves when we are hurt. I’m equally interested in the unique elements that differentiate us, those aspects that are profoundly personal and individual.

I have supported clients from diverse backgrounds in navigating through a range of challenges including anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, as well as relationship/family concerns, neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), changes, transitions, losses, bereavement, belonging, culture, identity, burnout, career/life choices, or finding a sense of purpose.

Whether you are looking for personal development, or grappling with difficulties, we can begin to explore the way forward in our initial session. 

My approach to counselling and therapy

Through my experience in various settings such as private practice, charities, and institutions, I've come to recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

I see each client as unique and complex individuals and I adapt my approach to their needs. I work in an integrative way which means I bring together elements from different therapeutic models I have studied and experienced as helpful. 

Based on the findings of neuroscience, I recognise the interplay between our minds and bodies. In addition to dialogue, I may suggest somatic methods, mindfulness, or creative exploration such as drawing or movement. These tools can be helpful when exploring deeply ingrained patterns or complex feelings that words alone can't fully capture. They can open doors to new insights and new ways of being.  

Working together

Working together in weekly sessions, we can find your rhythm and explore both your difficulties and aspirations. I will meet you where you are, and stay engaged and responsive as we make space for what matters to you.

I can support you to

  • Regulate your nervous system
  • Make sense of your personal story and the impact it has on you
  • Deepen your connection with yourself and others
  • Find self-compassion and a sense of agency no matter your circumstances
  • Implement sustainable changes that align with your goals and values
  • Live life that has meaning to you

Next steps

I warmly invite you for an introductory session. It will be a chance for us to meet each other, for you to ask any questions about the counselling process and find out how we could work together.

You are welcome to contact me at marta@lifeinfow.co.uk or 07506958963 to book an appointment.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

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.
