About me and my therapy practice
I'm Marie and I'm a Compassion-Focused Counsellor specialising in trauma and loss, working with adults and couples of all ages. I also have experience of working with issues related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity, illness, work, dissociation, gender/sexuality, neurodiversity, and relationships.
We can have sessions in-person at a central Ely location, online (Teams), or on the phone. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss starting counselling sessions with me.
No charge for the introductory call (20-30 mins).
Practice description
My sessions are client-led, and I strive to create a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental environment in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings in such a way that you feel more empowered. I will work alongside you in a warm and engaging way, with respect for who you are as an individual. My aim is to never be distant or prescriptive, so that you can benefit the most from our time together.
I work in an integrative way, which means that our sessions may incorporate tools from different therapeutic approaches, depending on what you're looking for. This could include psychodynamic thinking, body-based work and exploring meaning.
My experience of working with a variety of organisations and clients allows me to keep an open mind and an open heart. We are all forced to confront uncertainties and challenges in life, many of which are very painful. Together, we can explore the ways in which you respond to these difficulties, to build a greater sense of self-awareness shaped by a genuine search for connection.
