You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

Counselling for adults and couples in Barry, the Vale of Glamorgan and online.

Life doesn't always go the way we imagined.

Sometimes we're overwhelmed by what's happening right now. Sometimes something from the past is still affecting us. And sometimes we simply know that we're not feeling like ourselves, but we're not quite sure why.

Counselling can offer you a space to slow things down, make sense of what you're feeling and talk openly without fear of judgement.

I'm Marie, a qualified and Professionally NCPS accredited integrative counsellor. I work with adults and couples experiencing a range of challenges, with a particular interest in parenthood and perinatal mental health.

A space for whatever you're carrying

You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, relationships, trauma, self-esteem or a difficult period of change.

Or perhaps you're navigating something connected to becoming a parent — including birth trauma, baby loss, infertility or the emotional impact of pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out.

You just need to know that something doesn't feel right.

Counselling that starts with you

I believe counselling should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself.

My approach is person-centred and integrative. I'll listen with empathy and curiosity, while gently helping you explore thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Where it feels helpful, we can also introduce practical tools and exercises to support you outside of our sessions.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. We'll work together to find what feels right for you.

You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting.

That's why I offer a free 20-minute chat before you decide whether you'd like to book.

It's simply a chance to talk, ask any questions and see whether I might be the right counsellor for you.
