Marion (Online)
About the Therapist
Hi there, welcome to my profile. My name is Marion, and I am a fully qualified Person-centered counsellor, holding a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling with Distinction. My aim is to provide you with a warm, safe and therapeutic environment, within which we can explore together your world and experiences. Together we can travel on a journey, that may at times be hard, to make sense of your difficulties and heal your pain, to help you find your freedom and peace within yourself. My awareness and understanding of diversity is at the heart of how I work, as I have a deep respect for your individuality and personal background. My approach is therefore centered around acceptance and non-judgement, so you can be free to explore whatever it is you need to. I personally identify as a Lesbian/gay woman, and I have experience of working with a wide range of people, including different backgrounds, ages, cultures and identities, particularly LGBTQ+ identities. I am also experienced in working with people on their journeys through issues, such as: Abuse (and the many forms it can take, including physical, sexual, emotional), Anxiety, Bereavement, Bullying, Depression, Identity issues, Low self-esteem, Relationships, Self Harm, Sex-related issues, Sexuality, Stress, Suicidal thoughts, Trauma, Work-related issue, and much more. I work both online via video sessions, and in-person in a counselling room based in Shoreditch. If you have any questions, or if you would like to set up an initial session to see if I am the right fit for you, please don't hesitate to get in touch and I look forward to hearing from you.

I work mainly from the Person-Centered approach, but may draw on other approaches such as art therapy and CBT, if it feels appropriate for each individual client. The Person-Centered approach centres you the client at the heart of the therapy, I am not here to instruct or direct you in what to do, but instead to explore your world with you and build a therapeutic relationship that offers you safety and a space to heal. My role within our therapeutic relationship is to accept and value you as the person that you are, without judgement, to understand you and your experiences with empathy and compassion, and to offer you honesty and transparency. I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of settings including a college, London Friend (LGBTQ mental health charity) and in private practise. I have also worked as a Counselling Skills tutor. I therefore have experience of working with a wide range of people, including different backgrounds, ages, cultures and identities, particularly LGBTQ+ identities.
