Marcia Ash

I offer daytime and evening appointments.

I have over 5 years experience of working as a supervisor from both a clinical and creative perspective. I support and value the work of supervisees, so they can be empowered, grow in confidence, become interested in their reflections to become reflexive. I am also a co-facilitator on an accredited creative and clinical supervision course, training therapists to become supervisors. 

I have over 9 years experience of delivering therapy in charity, higher education, and prison establishments. I have worked in employed and contracting capacities within private practice. 

I am committed to the concept of true and practical self-care to enable each therapist to offer the best they can to their clients whilst maintaining an ethic practice.

I work from a person-centred puralistic foundation, that encompasses the practical, creative, and transpersonal training I have received. This along with the wide and deep experience I have gained from working with people, I offer the best of my own journey to support a therapist to learn and develop from their work, to be the best they can be. 

I offer a free Initial phone consultation and offer you the opportunity to bring an issue that we may briefly address, to establish if we can be a good fit. 

Following this you will be sent a preference questionnaire that will form the basis of the first session. This allows us to collaborate on how you you would like your therapeutic practice needs to be met.

Availability

• I offer a free intial 20 minutes consultation to see if we are a good fit and that I can meet your needs and support you in your goals. 
• I often have a waiting list for new clients, and can advise on the length of time to wait for the first appointment
• I have limited availability for evening appointments with more during the daytime. 

As a psychotherapist trained in a person-centred pluralist counselling framework, I offer a personalised and unique approach tailored to each individual client. I use a holistic approach, that allows for a deep and personal connection with clients.

I recognise the courage and strength it takes to start an inward journey of self discovery and make every attempt to support each client to do this in their unique way. 

Being certified and continuous professional development in various areas, that includes: Working with Trauma; Grief, Loss, and Bereavement; Creative Clinical Supervision; Yoga and Meditation Teacher Trainings; Neurolinguistic Programming; and Shamanic Breathwork Facilitation; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mental Health Recovery Mentoring and Coaching; Creative/Art Processing; and Motivational Interviewing; allows for the integration of a psychotherapeutic journey that encompasses the personal growth on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. 

I work with all clients as unique individuals to co-create a bespoke approach to their therapy. 

Clients are supported as individuals who may bring a wide range of conditions, e.g., anxiety, depression, long-term health, grief, loss and bereavement,  conditions, work-related difficulties including burnout and stress, and sleep-related issues, injuries, trauma recovery and relationship issues, birth trauma, physical birth injuries, and offers inclusive care to LGBTQIA+ individuals.

I offer a free initial session to establish a relational contact, to ensure that we are a good fit for your therapeutic journey. 

Prior to the first full session I request that a preference questionnaire is completed. This forms the basis of the first session, to explore the approach and what the client needs and wants from their therapy.
