Welcome. My name is Mari and I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. Life can be so incredibly challenging and it can be too much to ask that we face it alone. I aim to offer a safe, supportive space in which we can explore and investigate the difficulties you are facing, to make some sense out of your experience, and help you to find the resources to cope with life when it becomes overwhelming.
Whether you are dealing with a specific event such as a bereavement or trauma, experiencing a significant life change such as pregnancy or divorce, or are feeling as though something is just not quite right, counselling can help you to make sense of and find some meaning in your experience.
I trained as an integrative humanistic Counsellor which means that I draw on a breadth of knowledge which puts the individual at the centre of the therapeutic work. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that every human being has the capacity to grow and ability to heal. I will endeavour to ensure that you feel held and supported during our sessions, and that we are working at your pace whilst gently challenging you to keep investigating your feelings and experience. Please get in touch to book an initial session.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
