Hi I'm Marianna and I'm passionate about empowering you to take control of your own wellbeing.

I’ve over 25 years’ experience within the health and wellbeing field. My career includes working with a diverse range of people in the NHS, academic institutions, private and voluntary organisations, including Listening Ear Merseyside and the Rape and Sexual Abuse (RASA) centre. I have worked with the largest Employee Assistance Providers (EAPs) in the UK, to help people struggling with mental health difficulties at work.

My understanding of cultural diversity has been enriched through travelling across North and South America, Thailand and by working as a community advocate in rural Mexico. Through my own personal journey, I’ve re-learned the art of self-care which means I embody what I share with others who wish to lead a happier, healthier life.

An Individual Approach...

My style of working as an Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist is rooted in a Person-Centred approach. Put simply, this means I use a holistic style tailored to your individual needs. The therapeutic models I use include; Eye Movement De-sensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Inner Child Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt Therapy.

I believe that you’re the expert about you. Counselling is not about telling you what to do, or giving you advice. What I can offer you is the time and space, without judgement, to enable you to find your own solutions.
