Marie Adams: BSc(Hons)Dip Couns. Dip CBT. M B A C P
Marie is a qualified and experienced Counsellor. Initially an Occupational Therapist she worked in various Mental Health settings including Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities. It was there she realised she was drawn towards the counselling aspect of her work. Marie then decided to train in Counselling and Psychotherapy. After completing a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy she has been working with Clients of all age, gender and background to work towards the outcomes and solutions that are right for each individual. Marie offers a Professional, Confidential and Bespoke Service to adults and young people. Her ethos is that each person has the strengths and resources inside themselves to overcome the challenges that life has presented, and that together, taking the time, space and approach they can find a way forward.Susie Rogers B.A. Integrative Counselling Dip. Couns. Skills. M B A C P
I am a qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP. For several years I have been a Samaritan, working both on the telephone and person to person. Additionally I worked in Wandsworth Prison listening and talking to the prisoners, as well as training prisoners to be “Listeners” which are the prison equivalent of Samaritans. Amazingly enjoyable work, in such a harsh place full of problems it is still possible to have a sense of camaraderie and a few laughs. Presently I am working in a GP’s surgery where I am referred a wide variety of clients. I also work at Woking Hospice counselling the bereaved and pre-bereaved.
I offer clients support through -
Troubling emotions - such as depression and low self esteem
Stress and Anxiety - fear of failure or traumatic events
Relationship Issues - such as difficulty in finding and sustaining relationships. Separation or bereavement
Destructive Habits - negative body image and addictions
I give support, empathy and understanding. Maybe I cannot solve their practical problems, but I can walk alongside them when life is too difficult so they will not feel alone with their problems. The counselling relationship is a very special one, it can be a huge relief to have that confidentiality in which to unburden yourself and talk through your feelings and thoughts.
I work with several therapeutic approaches both short and long term to suit the client.
Nessa, Marie & Susie are members of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work within and are bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
Jules' specialist areas:
Eating Disorders: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and obesity.
In addition to my general practise I have had considerable success in helping people overcome their obsession with food using a combination of therapeutic approaches such as Integrative; reparative and psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
This is a quote from a client who suffered from anorexia and bulimia:
◊ No amount of words can really describe what Jules did for me. Despite her adamants that it was me who helped myself, I will always maintain that she stopped me from slipping away entirely, into the dark place in which I was trapped. Words only serve to make my experience sound trivial, but quite frankly, she saved me.
