Mary-Claire Wilson

You may be considering counselling or therapy for the first time, or to continue a journey of self-exploration. Sometimes, you may seem to be coping on the outside, while inside, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, overthinking or stuck. You may be impacted by difficult experiences in the past or present. Perhaps you hope to have a richer and more rewarding relationship with yourself and others. Therapy can help this, as we work together to make sense of your experience. 

I hold an MA/Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and a PGDip in Integrative Counselling. I use culturally, racially, ethnically, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming practice. I'm committed to to anti-oppressive practice. I provide a warm and supportive space. Often, a chance to give voice to what's going on for you offers relief. Together, we can reflect on challenges you might be facing, difficult feelings you might have and any unwanted thoughts. We'll also discover and affirm your talents and strengths, as we travel the road to insight, growth and compassion. The aim is to make meaning and the capacity to live a fuller life.

I don't take the 'blank screen' approach, meaning I don't stare at you in silence. If I don't share my thoughts with you, the therapy is only taking place in my head. I offer a caring and reflective space, where you're valued for the unique individual you are. This kind of environment can be rare to find, and powerful to experience.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone/Zoom consultation, and a first 50-minute session at a one-off fee of £70 for individuals and £80 for couples. There’s no obligation attached to an initial consultation or a first meeting. Both are a chance to see if we’re suited to work together.

I'm also a UKCP-accredited supervisor. Please contact me for further details.
