Marion Cowell Ward

I currently have some availability for new clients. My available hours are flexible since I have retired from full time employment and I can usually accommodate clients with appointment times that fit in with their other commitments.

I offer counselling for adults and children. I work mainly from the Person Centered approach but taking an integrative method of counselling incorporating aspects of other approaches including Behavioural and Cognitive approaches. The requirements of the client are paramount and sessions are tailored to their needs.  I normally charge £45.00 for a one hour session, but may offer concessions to those with limited incomes.

I am based in Stocking Pelham, a quiet village near Buntingford and not far away from Stansted and Bishop's Stortford. I can offer a quiet, safe space in which clients may work through their issues in complete confidentiality. Alternatively, I can visit clients in their own homes (within 20 mile radius) if travelling is an issue. Wherever possible, I work face to face with clients, I believe that this is preferable to  and more effective than remote options.

I am warm, approachable and a good listener. I can help with most issues, including Bereavement, Self Esteem issues, Anger Management, Anxiety, Stress and Relationship problems.

In my first session I  explain my role and my way of working. I  discuss what I can offer to the client and explore with the client how I can help.

Counselling begins according to the outcome of that discussion.
