Elke Marquart

Hello, my name is Elke. I am a qualified integrative BACP Accredited Counsellor and registered with ACC with 5 years of clinical experience.

In my work, I value that everybody is unique and therefore tailor my approach to address your issues, big or small, which may cause you difficulties or distress. Depending on what you bring and how you would like to improve your experience of life, I use techniques from different approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person centred, psychodynamic, attachment theory and a more recently developed trauma informed approach to explore your past or present issues. 

This may involve a few brief solution focused sessions or some longer and deeper work.

Counselling is team work and by coming alongside each other and being compassionately curious we can find solutions together. Hence why I aim to provide a warm, trusting and non-judgemental space, so you can feel safe to explore.

I offer a non-binding assessment session where we can get to know each other first. If, for whatever reason, I am not the right match, I will aim to suggest some alternatives.

Currently I see clients at my Stratford office and offer daytime and evening appointments online, over the phone as well as walk and talk therapy sessions in one of the local East London’s parks and outdoor spaces in Stratford, Hackney, Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow and Wanstead.
