Marcia Waters

My working hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and Saturday 9am to 2pm.

I am currently taking on new clients, so please reach out to discuss days and times of availability.  

Hello, I'm Marcia.

With 18 years of experience in the counselling profession and 16 years as a qualified integrative counsellor, I offer a warm, supportive and compassionate space for individuals seeking understanding, acceptance and personal growth. 

As a neurodivergent counsellor, I bring both lived experience and professional insight to my work. I understand what it is like to feel different, misunderstood, overwhelmed or unsure of where you fit. I offer a space where together we can explore acceptance, understanding and diversity without judgement.

I specialise in areas that often involve deep rooted relational patterns. These include borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, neurodiversity, attachment styles, and the impact of narcissistic dynamics in relationships.

My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic models, including person-centred, psychodynamic, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness and transactional analysis (TA). This allows me to tailor our work to meet your unique needs.

I offer short and long-term counselling on a one-to-one basis, available face-to-face, online, or over the telephone. 

 I offer a free initial 15 minute introductory conversation by telephone or text. This gives you opportunity to briefly outline your current needs, ask any questions you may have, and get a feel for whether working together feels right.  

Once counselling begins we will work together to explore patterns of behaviour or themes that are affecting your life and relationships, past experiences that may still be impacting you, how you feel about yourself, and what you would like to change. 

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and find a way forward that feels right for you. My aim is to create a safe and trusting space where you feel truly heard and supported.

My practice is located in the village of Corby Glen, offering a private and welcoming setting with convenient parking. Just minutes from the A1, it is easily accessible from Grantham, Bourne, Stamford, and nearby villages.  

If you're ready to take the first step, feel free to get in touch with any questions. We can arrange an initial session or a free introductory call, whatever feels right for you.  

The first session is an assessment session, which lasts for one hour. It is designed to gather background information, where I will ask you questions such as name, address, GP details and emergency contact, a brief review of family background and relationships, what has brought you to counselling at this time, significant life events and what you would like to gain from the counselling process. 

At the end of this session we will discuss, whether the counsellor/client relationship feels like the right fit, what future sessions will look like and any other questions you may have.

It is charged at the usual rate of a one hour session
