Discover a supportive space to explore your inner self and thrive. Connect with me for compassionate counselling, free from judgment or pressure.

I’m Marissa, a person-centred counsellor who believes in the power of being truly heard. I came into this work because I know what it’s like to wear a brave face while feeling completely lost inside, and how life-changing it can be to have someone really listen without trying to fix or judge.

My approach is gentle, honest, and human. I’m not here to analyse you from a distance or tell you what to do, I’m here to walk beside you as you make sense of your own story. I believe you hold the answers within you, and my role is to help you uncover them in a safe, respectful space.

Clients often tell me they feel seen, accepted, and able to breathe when we work together. That’s what matters to me, creating a space where you can be fully yourself, maybe for the first time in a long time.

I’ve worked with people facing all sorts of challenges, from anxiety, self-doubt and burnout to grief, trauma, and identity questions. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up as you are.

Alongside my one-to-one work, I also offer courses and workshops on topics like understanding trauma, stress management, listening skills, and counselling fundamentals. 

These sessions are inclusive, down-to-earth, and created to support real people in real life, whether you're looking for personal growth, tools to support others, or a first step into the world of counselling.

Outside the therapy room, I’m a big believer in coffee, creativity, honest conversations, and the healing power of laughter.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
