Marcia Haley

I am not currently offering new appointments for therapy. 

I do have availability to offer supervision for therapists or anyone in the helping professions, please see my supervision profile for more information. 

I offer a compassionate & supportive relationship where you can talk about yourself, your life and anything you are finding painful, difficult or confusing.  Therapy is an opportunity for us to work together so that you can understand yourself more and consider what may improve your life, relationships and how you feel. 

I can offer on-going short or long term therapy or fixed term therapy of a set number of sessions. I usually suggest that we review our work together after your first few sessions to consider if you are finding our work together helpful.

I believe therapy to work best when sessions are regular to build trust and maintain continuity. When we agree to work together, I usually offer sessions at the same time on the same day with sessions lasting 50 minutes.

I work in private practice offering Psychotherapy & Counselling and Supervision for professionals in the helping professions. 

Throughout my career I have provided professional care and support to adults, children and young people within the NHS and voluntary sector and have worked for over 20 years as counsellor and psychotherapist. 

I am experienced in working with a wide range of concerns and difficulties.

If you are looking for a particular type of therapy, my approach is Integrative, which means that I draw on a number of psychological theories and concepts which can be helpful in bringing understanding to issues or situations you want to think about and change. I can also work with you to consider practical tools and life changes to support and improve your emotional well being.

I have additional training in working with the arts in therapy if that is something you are interested in.

I continue to attend many short trainings relevant to my practice as part of my ongoing professional development.

I hold a current enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

If you would like to ask me anything about myself or the way I work, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email. 

Our first appointment will be a chance for us to get to know each other and to consider if we can work together in a way that will be helpful for you.

You will have the opportunity to talk about yourself and what has brought you to counselling. You may also want to ask me questions about therapy and the way I work. I will ask you some questions to help me understand you and your situation better. I will also ask about your general health and the contact details of your GP.

At the end of your appointment we will consider the next step; we may decide to organise more sessions straight away: or you may wish to go away and think about this further. I will consider if I have the right skills to work with you; if I believe that another type of therapy or someone with different skills to mine would be better suited to you I will discuss this with you.

I am available to contact  Mondays to Wednesdays and have daytime availability for supervision on those days.

I provide supervision for therapists and professionals within the helping professions.  Supervision is a collaborative and supportive relationship to reflect upon your work and role. I work with you to consider yourself, your work, its impact and what supports you and your clients. 

I can offer sessions either online or in person and have availability in the daytime Mondays to Wednesdays.  We can consider the frequency and length of your sessions depending on your particular supervision needs. I work with individuals or groups.

Our first meeting will be a chance for us to get to know each other and consider what you are looking for from supervision and whether we could work well together.  If we agree to work together we will create our supervision agreement including the times and frequency for ongoing supervision. I usually suggest that we review our work after three months to consider if you are finding our work helpful.
