My name is Maryanne and I am a highly regarded and accomplished counsellor and I am passionate about supporting the growth and personal development of my clients. I hold a valid membership with the ACA and am driven by seeing clients overcome the challenges they face, finding happiness, and creating a better and more peaceful future.

I am respectful of my clients, their views, and understand that everyone is unique, as is their situation. My approach to counselling is based on building trust as I believe that truly knowing my clients leads to successful outcomes. I work with my clients to help them find their strengths, recognise their true qualities, triggers, resources and supports. With a person-centred approach, I empower and encourage my clients to explore what they want, where they are in their life, and where they want to be. I help them identify their goals, develop strategies and solutions and is there to provide support, guidance, reassurance, and positivity.

All clients are diverse and so sessions are tailored to each person and their individual needs and desired outcomes. I use a mix of evidence-based modalities during sessions, including cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness exercises, trauma informed techniques, somatic-based interventions, and expressive therapies.

Using these techniques, I empower my clients understand and make sense of their situation so that they may free themselves from the weight they may have been carrying around, achieve personal growth and identify a way forward for a happier future.
