Welcome
My name is Marléne. My counselling practice is in Brighton, East Sussex, UK. I am a fully qualified counsellor and have been counselling for several years. Alongside this, I have had much life experience, which has contributed to my empathy and understanding of others.
How can counselling help you?
We are all unique and individual human beings, and for each one of us there are times in our lives when we need help to cope with the emotional difficulties we may be experiencing.
Many of us experience loss, bereavement, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, addiction........ the list goes on.
In childhood we learn "ways of being" in order to please those around us; our parents, our teachers, and people who are significant in our lives. Sometimes these patterns of behaviour are repeatedly played out in our adult life, and although we are aware on one level that they are not really helping we are unsure about how to do things differently..
Counselling can help us to become more aware of ourselves and how we behave and respond to others. Through counselling we can consider different options, New Perspectives, in order to resolve those ongoing issues, escape from that feeling of "stuck-ness", and move forward to a happier and healthier life.
