Marie Wilkes

I am able to offer you a confidential space in which you can share your experiences without fear of being either judged or misheard. I will be there to support you through any difficult feelings that may emerge and to stay with you as you make any decisions which you feel are right for you. I understand how life can cause increased levels of stress and anxiety and how sometimes relationships can come under extra strain from the demands of everyday living.

Managing sexually compulsive behaviour can have a significantly detrimental impact on all areas of someone's life. The ripple effects from addiction can affect everyone close to the person with compulsive behaviour. I can offer a structured level of support in a warm, non-shaming environment where we can work together towards long lasting behaviour changes.

Couples therapy and general relationships therapy forms an important part of my practice with the focus being on the relationship between the individuals, effective communication, becoming more self aware of own patterns of behaviour, taking responsibility and improving intimacy.

Session costs range from £70 to £95 depending on requirements. Please contact me for confirmation.

I can work with people who display sexually compulsive behaviour and partners of people who display sexually compulsive behaviour.

I can also work with people who would like to improve their relationship

I trained to work specifically with sex addiction and sexually compulsive behaviour at the Laurel Centre.

As sexually compulsive behaviour is very specific per individual it is difficult to list a set of specific symptoms. However, in exploring your behaviour consider the following:-

Does your sexual behaviour have a negative impact on other areas of your life?

Does your behaviour contradict your personal values?

Have you tried to stop certain behaviors but so far have failed?

Are you secretive or fear being discovered?

Are your behaviours increasing in frequency in order to achieve the same level of fulfillment?

Do you turn to sexual behaviour to help you deal with difficult emotions?

I am couples trained through The Grove and am working towards accreditation at level 5 by the CPCAB

Has your relationship become static over the years?

Do you feel that you are losing your connection?

Is communication difficult?

Has sex become much less frequent than you would like it to be?

Has the demands of life taken the joy away from your relationship?

Do you feel as if trust has been broken?

Do you feel as if you have lost your own identity?

Feel free to get in touch if any of these statements feels familiar to you

​

I'm here to support you through a very personal and sometimes difficult process which can be extremely powerful. If you feel we could be a good fit please get in touch. I offer a free 30min telephone informal chat to help you decide if you’d like further sessions.

This will be your opportunity to ask me any questions, and for us to get to know each other a little. You will be under absolutely no pressure to agree to future sessions after the call. The decision will be completely up to you.

Our first session, with your agreement, will revolve around working to become more comfortable with the process of counselling, looking at the counselling contract and explaining anything within the contract which may be unclear, agreeing on session times and regularity and covering any other questions you may have. Its completely normal to be nervous during the first session and to have lots of questions. Working online we will also cover the procedure should our connection keep dropping out.

I aim to offer a shame free, non-judgemental and supportive environment in which to do this.

Hi, my name is Marie and I am a fully qualified intergrative counsellor. I work with clients across a variety of different areas remotely online across the UK.

I believe the most important part of the counselling process is the relationship between the counsellor and the client. Positive change can only occur when the person feels empathy and acceptance in a trusting, non-judgemental environment.

People are consciously able to determine their own behaviour and are driven by a need for self-fulfillment. Difficulties in our daily lives can hinder this ability. I am able to help people to become aware of any barriers they may have to their need for self-fulfilment by understanding the world from their point of view, offering a safe and trusting environment and challenging where necessary. I believe that this will help people to explore previously unrecognised emotions which can allow the person to experience true change.

​With this in mind I believe that the counselling relationship is collaborative, that both the counsellor and the client can work together to identify and monitor goals towards a successful end.

I work in a variety of areas including anxiety, overwhelm, bereavement and relationships. I specialise in the following:-

working with chronic illness

working with sexually complusive behaviour

working with relationships

I can work with people who display sexually compulsive behaviour and partners of people who display sexually compulsive behaviour.

I can also work with people who would like to improve their relationship
