I'm Marcus O'Shea, and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodiversity, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also offer a free introductory meeting so you can find out if I'm the right fit for you.
I work in a collaborative and flexible manner, with understanding my client's stories and experiences as my priority. Integrating a variety of approaches and tools, I aim to work together with you to learn about your unique experience and how to best foster healing and growth. I actively seek feedback and open dialogue with clients to consistently improve my practice, an approach which has been proven to improve outcomes for clients.
I believe each client is unique, and seek to establish an empathic, accepting space where you can feel safe to share your feelings and experiences, talk through the issues you’re facing, and find the solution that’s right for you.
From there, I can offer a variety of tools and techniques that can help between sessions, drawn from the Somatic, Cognitive-Behavioural, ACT, and Mindfulness schools of therapy.
I also work from a trauma informed and trained basis, which means I am experienced in how to work through and process trauma with clients in a safe manner.
I’m educated in a variety of approaches and toolsets, in order to offer counselling and solutions that suit you best. Specialist areas of focus include depression and anxiety, trauma, somatic issues, neurodiversity, ADHD, disability issues, and LGBTQ+ issues.
In addition, I offer a free introductory half hour session to get to know each other, so you can decide first hand if I’m right for you.
