Marie Shakespear

I currently have availability, evenings, weekends and some daytime. I can offer face to face or  remote Zoom sessions.

My approach is primarily person-centred, meaning you remain at the heart of our work. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you rather than tell you what you should do.

I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Empathy, acceptance and unconditional positive regard are central to the way I work all while you feel held in a safe space.

I recognise that every person is unique, with their own experiences, needs and way of being. While person-centred therapy provides the foundation of my practice, I can draw on different therapeutic modalities where appropriate. I tailor my approach to you, considering what feels safe, meaningful and helpful for your individual circumstances.

You remain in control of what we explore and the direction our sessions take. We work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you. I listen carefully and, where appropriate, may offer gentle challenge, reflection or a different perspective to support your exploration.

I have specialist experience in trauma, domestic abuse and sexual violence, and understand that talking about difficult experiences can take courage. I therefore place great importance on creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety and respect.

I also work with couples, creating a balanced space where both people can be heard and understood, and I adapt my approach when working with neurodivergent clients and people with disabilities.

For me, counselling is not about changing who you are. It is about creating space to pause, breathe, understand yourself more deeply and, in your own time, find your course through whatever life may be bringing you in the hope you can become your authentic self. 

I’m Marie, a person-centred counsellor, couples counsellor and supervisor, and founder of Mindful Ocean Counselling. I hold a BA (Hons) First Class in Counselling Studies and am a MBACP member of BACP.

I offer a warm, safe and confidential space where you can feel heard, respected and able to be yourself. Empathy, compassion, acceptance and unconditional positive regard are central to my practice.

I work primarily from a person-centred approach, drawing on different therapeutic modalities where appropriate. I recognise that everyone is unique, with their own experiences, needs and way of being, so I tailor my approach to you. You remain at the centre of our work, with your needs and goals guiding our sessions.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of difficulties. My specialist experience includes domestic abuse, sexual violence and trauma, including childhood trauma. I previously worked as a sessional and pre-trial counsellor for a specialist domestic abuse and sexual violence charity and also provide pre-trial therapy.

I have previous Children’s Services experience as a Family DASA within the FAST team. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent people and people with disabilities.

As a supervisor, I provide a safe and reflective space for counsellors and practitioners to explore their practice and development.

Mindful Ocean Counselling is a place to pause, breathe and find your own course towards calmer waters. I will walk alongside you, offering support and gentle challenge where appropriate.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Hayle, as well as Zoom and telephone sessions, with daytime, evening and weekend appointments available.

I offer remote sessions either on Zoom or over the phone
