Marian Gittins

I will be on annual leave from the 30th of July until the 16th of August 2021 inclusive.

I have been a practising Psychotherapist and Counsellor for fourteen years. My main theoretical approach is Transactional Analysis (TA), at the heart of this therapy is the contract for change. I also work integratively drawing on different modalities to tailor the work for the individual needs of each client. Feel free to Contact me for an informal chat about your needs.

The first session gives you the space to let me know what is going on for you and the changes you would like to make.  If you are unsure of the changes you want to make, we can go with the process and work with whatever comes up for you.  periodically we will review our work together.  Reviewing enables us to explore the process and for you to say whether or not you are getting what you need from the therapy.  Reviewing also enables us to celebrate the changes you are making along the way.

I will be on annual leave from the 1st August until the 16th August 2021 inclusive.

I have been practising as a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist since 2005.  My main training is in Transnational Analysis.  I have worked with many presentations including working with young people in Primary school, Senior school and College settings.  My work with young people within a performing Arts College, led me to further training in  Disordered eating and eating disorders.  I also work with adults of all ages.

In my role as a supervisor, the relationship I build with my supervisees is of paramount importance, much the same as it is with my clients.  My hope and my aim is for us to have an honest, open relationship where you can bring any issue, especially the issues we might feel as therapists, are difficult to bring.  I work with how you are personally and professionally and how these different parts of your life can impact on each other.   I take a holistic view, keeping in mind 'we are our tool'.

During a first session we can meet, make some space to find out about each other, about how we both like to work, and whether or not we would like to work together.
