Maryane Mwaniki

Whether you are an individual or a couple feeling stuck, experiencing challenges, anxiety, stress or depression, I can offer support. As a Counsellor and Coach (MBACP), I work with my clients to process difficult feelings and experiences, build resilience and self-awareness and identify a positive way forward.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Coach which means that I draw on a variety of therapeutic and coaching approaches to support the unique needs of my client – because one size doesn’t fit all. Our relationship is an essential component of our work, so each session is designed to be supportive, collaborative, non-judgemental and to flow at a pace that’s comfortable for you.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I work across a broad range of therapeutic approaches to ensure our sessions are tailored to your unique needs and experiences. These approaches included Person Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt, Solution Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Existential and Christian Counselling. I work with individuals and couples.

As an experienced Coach, I am able to help you identify resources, tools and techniques to support you across different areas of your personal and professional life. I offer Career, Leadership & Executive Coaching as well as Couple Coaching.

Couples and relationships

Through couple coaching and counselling I support couples to assess and evaluate the quality of their relationship, develop skills for a successful future together, and increase trust and intimacy.

I provide the Prepare-Enrich and Gottman Method assessments and incorporate these frameworks into my couple work.

Coaching

I am an accredited Strengthscope® and StrengthscopeLeader™ coach (the robust strengths-based 360 leadership profiler). I am experienced in coaching for success to help individuals discover their strengths, underlying qualities that energise them and how to apply these effectively and meaningfully to boost their performance, motivation and impact. 

I work with individuals, multinational companies, SMEs and charities to invest in their people by developing authentic leaders, nurturing rising stars and creating a healthy work culture.

The first session provides an opportunity for us to meet and develop an understanding of your aims for therapy. Like all sessions it will be a non-judgemental and confidential space for you to tell your story.

During this session we will complete an assessment to gain an in-depth understanding of your background and situation.

The first session is charged at the same rate as all sessions.
