About Me
Hi, I'm Marcia, a fully qualified person-centred counsellor, based in Pembrokeshire. Person-centred is a non-directive approach which focuses on the client's ability to think in the here and now, and to create their own clarity and understanding of personal issues and problems. I offer a genuine and warm approach, and I am here to support and listen to you.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 20 years working in the NHS. During this time, I saw how many people were struggling quietly coping on the surface while feeling overwhelmed underneath. It's what led me to train as a counsellor. At the heart of my work is a simple belief, everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and supported.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I aim to make that process feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
Ethics, Safety & Professional Credentials
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I work in accordance with their Ethical Framework, which guides my practice in maintaining professionalism, integrity, and the highest standards of care.
I hold an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check to ensure the highest standards of safety and trust in my practice. Additionally, I maintain comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. Like all therapists, I attend regular professional supervision, providing further reassurance and protection for my clients.
