Marie Brown

Availability for new clients on Tuesday and Friday daytimes.

Dear scroller,

I am ready to sit alongside you, with whatever you are currently going through. Come just as you are.

You don't need to know what you want or need, but have an openness to explore how you are feeling, in confidence.

I am trained in Person Centred Therapy which means the sessions are lead by you, you can bring what you want, with as much as you feel comfortable to. I am here to listen and to help you hear your own voice.

You can come with any issue, and I understand it is a huge step to trust someone with something you maybe haven't shared before, a feeling you don't feel comfortable having or something that feels particularly hard for you to talk about. I will not judge you.

I can see you for any issue may have, but have some specific training and interests that you may be interested in:

Grief and loss
I have received training in Bereavement support, which may be useful to you. Whether you are impacted by a death of someone or you may have experienced other losses:

• your identity
• a relationship
• a job
• a lifestyle
• Faith and identity

Faith and identity
I appreciate and respect how a faith, a set of beliefs or religion can be important to you, your decisions and who you are. I endeavour to sit with you in your experience of the world, your background, values and beliefs - and respect the value (or not) they hold for you.

I look forward to meeting you,

Marie

Others' experiences say it better...

"Meeting Marie for the first time, I knew immediately that I would be able to speak openly with her. I had intended to hold myself back and be selective about what we spoke about. Marie allowed me to talk, listened, and encouraged me in so many ways to be open about my fears and worries, without any judgement then guided me to reflect and explore a different perspective. Which has enabled me to be more open with my friends and ask them for help rather than struggling on.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

S.T.

.......

I had In Person Counselling with Marie when I was in a particularly bad period in my life. She listened to me with compassion and understanding and at no time did I feel judged or looked down upon. I was able to share things I had never verbalised before and she helped me to learn the skills to deal with my issues myself. When our sessions came to an end, she ensured I had tools to enable me to cope with future situations. I would thoroughly recommend Marie to anyone looking for counselling and I would have no hesitation in booking sessions with her in the future if I feel I need to.

H.P

The first session can be booked after a free 15 minute intro call if we both feel comfortable working together.

We can start wherever you feel comfotable, with no pressure to share all straight away. The counselling relationship is really important, and my hope is that trust can build over the sessions together.
