Marion Crouch

I'm Marion,  and I work as Psychodynamic Counsellor covering London, Suffolk and Essex for face to face counselling, and nationwide for on-line and telephone counselling. 

I'm naturally warm, caring and supportive and working as a therapist underpins my belief that self understanding contributes to healing and ultimately living a more authentic life.  I enjoy being a therapist and the privilege of walking alongside clients on their unique journey of understanding.

I offer a confidential, safe space for you to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings in a totally non-judgemental way.  We can work at your pace, in your way to get right to the heart of whatever issues or difficulties you are facing.

I'm also a Human Resources Specialist (ACIPD) with extensive experience of coaching in business settings on an organisational or individual level. I can offer insight on organisational/team dynamics, develop business/HR strategy or work with individuals in their career paths.  

I work as 'The Model Therapist'.  This relates to the Psychodynamic Model in which I work and offer counselling to people from all walks of life,  the coaching aspect of Role-Modelling in business and I have a specialist focus on the Acting and Modelling world, where I can help build confidence, safely bring emotions to the fore to assist performance.

So what is psychodynamic counselling, I hear you ask and how can I help. Psychodynamic counselling is a journey of self understanding, going right back to our earliest memories and experiences as it is from here that we develop our patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings. These patterns are often unconscious to us and through psychodynamic counselling I observe these patterns  and slowly through exploring them together they come into conscious awareness and understanding. It is from this deeper understanding of yourself that healing can take place. An enlightened place from which to view the world.  

A counselling session is 50 minutes.  I offer face to face sessions primarily in London, Suffolk and Essex.  I work in safe and confidential counselling centres. 

I also offer on-line and telephone counselling sessions so you can access counselling regardless of where you live. This is important to me so that counselling is accessible and possible for all groups of people. 

I have a range of appointments which can include weekday, evenings and some weekend appointments. 

Fees can be provided on enquiry. 

Taking that first step into counselling can be a daunting process. It might be the first time you've ever thought about asking or seeking help.  My aim is to walk beside you as you take these steps and the first session is the start of this journey.  

I can offer a first session at an introductory fee of £50. This session can take place on-line or on the phone to explore together whether I'm the right person for you.  We can have an open and authentic discussion about what psychodynamic counselling is, how it might help you in your journey of understanding, what your expectations are, what you can expect during sessions and discuss and allay any concerns you may have. 

What will it involve. Well, it will be a 50 minute session and we will discuss what brings you to counselling. It will help me to understand some of your background and family history so that together we can build a picture of how best therapy can help. I will talk to you about the counselling 'contract', the fees and what the professional boundaries, ethics and expectations can be.  

If you prefer a face to face session then this can be arranged depending on location.
