Counselling with Mary
I hold an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent’s University London and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Society for Existential Analysis.
I have studied a variety of therapeutic approaches and specialise in the Existential approach, which considers each person as an individual not a set of symptoms or problems to be resolved.
As your therapist I will support your growth in understanding by encouraging you to home in on your feelings and beliefs by describing them and reflecting on what is important to you.
As I am a mother and was a carer for a parent with dementia, I have lived experience of many of the challenges that I hear from my clients.
This does not mean that I assume anything but I believe that having lived through a lot of the negative things life can throw at a person, I have a fair idea.
I am a deeply compassionate person and work hard to support my clients. I am experienced at working with, among others, parents of teenagers with mental health issues, spousal carers, bereaved people, and clients with drug and alcohol dependency.
Ethics and Supervision
I adhere to the Ethical Frameworks of the United Kingdom Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the BACP. I attend regular supervision with a UKCP registered supervisor and CPD training.
