Mary Scott

I am not currently taking on new clients until the 1st May 

I will then be offering both online(Zoom) and telephone counselling sessions. I am not taking face to face clients at this time but will have more availability in the near future.

I offer flexible hours including early evening.

It can be hard to make contact with someone new and find courage to seek therapy. I always arrange an initial session where we can explore what you need, your expectations and if you have any particular concerns about counselling .This can help you work out if I am right for you and indeed for me to see if I feel I can help. If you decide to begin therapy I offer regular 50 minute counselling sessions to give you space to understand why you might feel the way you do and how you may begin to feel better. I can help you develop awareness of patterns from the past that may be effecting your life today so you can find ways to feel more in  control of  your present life.

In addition to my private counselling practice I also work as a counsellor for a local charity supporting parents adjusting to the twists and turns of family life.I also have over 40 years experience working as a nurse in the NHS and am familiar with the pain and difficulties life throws us.

I offer one to one 50 minute sessions currently online via zoom or telephone. Face to face sessions will be available again soon. My hours are flexible, also offering early evening sessions.

I see clients for short and long term sessions depending on your need. We will review our sessions together regularly to ensure you are getting what you need from therapy. Our relationship is key to the process, I offer safety, warmth and a non judgmental approach.

I am an integrative counsellor working  from a person centred base .I can  offer you a safe nurturing space to explore your thoughts and feeling. I also integrate Gestalt and TA therapies to help raise awareness and look at relationship dynamics. Gestalt therapy helps develop your awareness by looking at how we are in at the present moment, working in the here and now. Transactional analysis helps us understand relationship dynamics and how we interact with others .

I offer an initial session free of charge up to 30 minutes this is usually by  phone call .We can use this time to  discuss your needs before you book an appointment. This gives you a chance to assess how you feel talking to me and if I might be able to help. If you feel comfortable with me we can then book a session.
