Find a path forward...

It can be difficult to ask for help when the problem isn’t clear to you...

People seek counselling for many issues and there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ reasons to seek support. You may not even have the words to describe how you feel right now. Putting your concerns into words can be daunting but perhaps one of the following reflects where you are now:

• Feeling overwhelmed or anxious, unable to cope

• Lacking confidence or direction, feeling ‘not enough’

• Difficulties in relationships or finding boundaries hard to maintain

• Concerns about drinking or struggles with addiction

• Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person

• Being unable to let go of past events

• Feeling disconnected or lonely

If you are experiencing these or any other difficult feelings, I am here to talk. Book a free introductory call to tell me about your needs.

The therapy I offer is focussed on building a deep understanding of the individual so I welcome you whatever it is you are experiencing. I do have some particular areas of interest in within my practice, which you may feel connect to what you are going through right now.

Alcohol problems & addiction

Feeling that you are no longer in control of your drinking or drug use but are unable to stop?

Trauma & abuse

Are you finding it hard to move on from painful experiences or struggling to make sense of how you have been treated?

Feelings of doubt and negativity towards yourself and finding it hard to prioritise your needs?

Self-worth & boundaries

Counselling is not about someone telling you how to feel or what choices to make. It is focussed on helping you reconnect with what you really need, and to make sense of what you are going through.

Some of the benefits clients experience are:

• Greater sense of identity and self-acceptance

• Reduced anxiety and stress

• Improved relationships and boundaries

• More confidence and self-esteem

• Feeling more in control of your life

• Living with greater sense of authenticity and purpose

What can counselling do for me?

Marie Clark, MBACP

You may not wish to talk to friends and family about your concerns or you are worried that they will judge you. I am here to provide a sounding board for whatever is troubling you. I will listen compassionately and without judgement. Together we can focus on what really matters, begin to overcome challenges and help you move forward in a way that feels genuine to you.
