Having someone witness our struggles and understand them is one of the best defences we can use to feel like ourselves again.

Sometimes we tell ourselves that we are bad, worthless, or that we deserve what is happening. This is linked to feeling low, depressed, anxious or having low self-esteem. It can be extremely useful to have a counsellor who is able to listen out for these signs. In drawing your attention to your internal beliefs, I can help you view your experiences in a different way. You can be free from defeating patterns.

You know the story of your life best. I weave in a variety of therapeutic interventions—such as CBT reframing, nesting dolls, grounding techniques, and coaching—to highlight possible changes and coping strategies. Together, we can think and practice alternative ways to a more fulfilling life. 

I am a qualified professional counsellor. I am a Registered Member of the BACP. A BACP registered practitioner adheres to high standards of safe and ethical practice. I gained knowledge through my counselling training, university degrees and living internationally. I use all these experiences to help you live life to the fullest.

Why Therapy? For growth! You can change by unpacking things in a quiet and comfortable room, an hour dedicated to yourself, with a person who is fully committed and trained to be the best possible listener - and who is not connected to your life! You do not need more advice. As you feel understood and cared for, you will find yourself stronger, more confident.

Welcome to MWT! 

I am dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to rediscover meaning and finding joy. My approach is grounded in empathy, unwavering acceptance, and genuine understanding, creating a warm and non-judgmental space.

In our sessions, you will find a compassionate listener who values your unique perspective and experiences. I aim to facilitate an environment where you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths and enhance your self-esteem. 

About me:

I have honed my listening skills all my life. People I met along the way on my travels have always found it easy to confide in me – yes, sometimes it is easier to confide in a stranger. I am warm and empathetic, and I believe everyone deserves a place to be heard.

Here is one client's testimonial:

"I can't thank Mary enough, and if the time ever rose again where I felt the need to talk to someone, I would choose Mary in a heartbeat". Female, 29 years old

My background is academic (I have two master’s degrees, one in Literature and the other in Business). I know a thing or two about the corporate world, as I have worked in a blue-chip company. I also volunteered as a Loss counsellor in a Grief Centre and in a local school as a governor. I have met all kinds of people and I have been relentless in my pursuit of understanding why we behave the way we do.

I draw on all those experiences when I listen to your individual story. The little bit of wisdom I picked along the way from others, it all helps understand what leading a good life means to different people.

Therapy usually starts with quick assessment and introduction to counselling. You can then choose to dive straight into discussing your reasons for seeking therapy if you feel ready, or we can take a gradual approach to get to know each other.
