Maria Marchant

If you are considering how therapy can support you through challenging life events, I am here to help you by offering a safe and confidential space in which you can begin to examine what may feel impossible right now to resolve by yourself; without fear of being judged - and experience, perhaps for the first time, a real feeling of being heard. I work by exploring your thoughts, emotions and life story so far, with the aim of both of us understanding & together making sense of the difficulties you are experiencing. Together, we will then seek a way of helping you find the answers that truly lie within you.

I have experience of working with clients on issues such as depression and low mood, anxiety, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, anger management, abuse, relationships difficulties, work related issues, addiction, exam stress, child and adolescent issues, adoption and fostering, health issues, personal development and general counselling.

I'm not your typical therapist. I'm approachable and curious about life.  I believe that therapy should reach into your soul, make you feel heard & support the changes you want to make. I don't feel that therapy should be a stale, clinical, sterile experience. I want you to be comfortable, safe enough to be vulnerable & recognise your strength for personal positive growth.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, I am currently offering only on-line or telephone counselling.   I will be also offering face to face sessions once it is safe to do so.   My therapy practice is located in Chislehurst; I will send you specific instructions for finding me when you have made your first session booking.

The location of my practice is easily accessible by train (Chislehurst or Sidcup) with bus links dropping you practically at my door. I am conveniently located close to the A20.
