Marie Parsons

I offer telephone counselling sessions, during school hours, evenings and weekends.

Life is hard. We live in a continually changing world that can leave the best of us overwhelmed, depressed, angry, isolated or simply stuck.

I hold an unwavering belief that people possess the insight and inner resources to navigate and build the life they choose. It is the surrounding conditions that influence and sometimes limit our ability to heal and develop. The beliefs we hold about ourselves, the beliefs of those around us, the constraints of the environment and past experiences. Left unresolved, these experiences continue to exercise power over our way of being, our life choices, thoughts and feelings.

You do not have to contain painful thoughts and feelings or shoulder burdens alone. I offer a safe, supported and confidential space. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to better understand you.

My name is Marie, I am a qualified humanistic counsellor based in West Midlands. I offer a holistic approach to counselling and support, this means I work with you to develop self-knowledge and realistic strategies, based on who you are and your life path.

I have been fortunate throughout my life, to have worked with diverse people. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´), and work within their ethical guidelines.

At present, I am offering telephone counselling to UK based adults. This enables me to keep overheads to a minimum and pass those savings to my clients. 50 minute sessions cost £30 for weekday school hour sessions, taken between 9am and 3pm, and £40 for any other times. 

The relationship between client and counsellor is very important. You need to feel comfortable and supported to enable trust to develop. This in turn, creates a climate conducive to open and honest communication, without fear of judgment, and with the knowledge that your counsellor is walking beside you.

I offer a free of charge, 20 min telephone consultation. This provides an opportunity to ask questions, and to assess if I might be the right fit for you. I will also ask questions about your present difficulties, this will help me to understand if my skill set is a fit for you.

Please enquire via email or text, as often I am unable to answer calls. I aim to respond to within 24 hours.
