"healing is not just a desired outcome of treatment, it is a potential that is there from the start. We are wired to heal, to right ourselves, to grow and transform. This is not just a metaphor. It is what neuroplasticity is about. "

Hello, I'm Mara ...I am a Counselling Psychologist and EMDR Therapist with a passion for working with and treating trauma-related difficulties, depression, anxiety, and dissociative disorders. I am continually astounded at how incredible our brains are and how this can be fundamental to our healing but can also be part of what leads to our suffering - until we get the assistance that we need.
I work collaboratively with you towards healing, whether this be in a short-term interaction or in a longer-term therapy. I practice using an integrative approach to ensure the best fit for the client and our work together. I primarily work using EMDR Therapy due to its efficacy at alleviating distress. |
location & fees
Following lockdown restrictions during the COVID pandemic, my practice moved entirely online. Research has shown that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy and it has the benefit of enabling access to sessions where someone might not be able to attend in person.
Finding the right therapist for you is the cornerstone of an effective therapeutic experience. It is recommended that you chat with a few different therapists to find the one that you feel is a good fit. For this reason I offer a free 20 minute consultation with no obligation. This gives us both the opportunity to find out whether I have the specialist skills to help you and whether you will feel comfortable working with me.
Therapy fees are £120 per individual session
(standard sessions are 50 minutes)
I am registered with the following Insurance companies; Axa Health, Aviva and Vitality Health. If your insurance company is not listed here, please enquire.
You will need to obtain pre-authorization from your provider before our first session, in order to ensure all fees are covered. Please note that depending on your policy, there may be an excess for you to pay.
