About Marie

I am 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, gender/sexuality, neurodiversity, and relationships.

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.

Over the years, I have worked with many charities such as Blue Smile and Cruse Bereavement Support. I have also worked with Lifecraft, supporting families across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough that have been bereaved by suicide, and CEAACC (Cambridgeshire Expressive Arts & Counselling Centre). I am currently a sessional counsellor with CRCC (Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre) alongside my private practice.

I have a Diploma in Counselling and am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics.
