Diane Marquand

PG Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, BSc MSc Palliative care nursing, MBACP (Registered) 

My background of many years’ experience in palliative care nursing directed me to qualify and practice as a relational person- centered integrative counsellor/ Psychotherapy with extensive experience  in loss grief and bereavement and the complex issues we feel in these times. 

I have worked for Cruse bereavement services  since 2017 and also a local GP surgery as a therapist supporting patients with  loss grief and bereavement and other issues that might be challenging to self-esteem or , causing symptoms of mental and physical stress: headaches, poor sleep, irritability, social isolation and anxiety.

Sometimes we can just feel overwhelmed with difficult emotions that might not be related to any specific event and feel powerless to change them.

My practice includes exploring  your internal thoughts and feelings and personal challenges using an integration of approaches suitable for you personally. My work is a relational integrative approach with elements of  creative therapy and an existential phenomenology.My central focus is to offer a space and time that is welcoming, judgement-free, professional and safe, to work with the many different and diverse reasons why people may choose to talk with a therapist.

I believe that it is important for you to feel safe and trust in the sessions to allow you to explore without intimidation, sometimes deep feelings that might emerge. I will offer a free initial telephone consultation of 30 minutes and our future session times can be discussed if you would like to continue.
