Marie | Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

Counselling Coventry

Starting therapy is a courageous decision. It's not easy reaching out to a 'stranger' and being prepared to show your vulnerabiliy. Let me assure you however that it will likely be one of the best decisions you'll make as you start to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, heard and held in a safe space.

What to expect?

First of all we will have a brief call to discuss why you're reaching out and how we might work together. From there an initial session is arranged which can take place online or in-person. Usually I suggest that therapy is an open ended agreement; which essentially means we assess how things are going along the way as opposed to a fixed amount of sessions. That said, often people can only commit to a number of sessions for a variety of reasons so we can work with that as well of course. I aim to offer as much flexibility and fairness where possible. 

My approach

I am an integrative therapist which means I work with a multi approach. This is really beneficial as it means I can offer a wider experience of working with clients and the presenting issues. 
I have a particular interest in trauma and attachment and how trauma impacts the body.
I am interested in what is happening for you in the present but also how early years have shaped you. This means that I will be asking questions about your early years, who you grew up with and so on. It's not about getting stuck in the past but it's important to acknowledge how certain experiences had or have an impact on the now. 

Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions.
