Welcome

Hello! I’m Marley (they/them), an LGBTQ+, neurodiversity and disability affirmative counsellor.

I offer an empathetic and accepting space for you to explore what is going on in your life. I specialise in working with gender identity and LGBTQ+ themes, autism, ADHD, self-esteem, grief (including loss of pets), body image and workplace issues.  Discover more topics and information about who and what I offer counselling for.

I aim to offer you a sense of hope and empowerment, along with techniques you could use in your life to enhance or help you cope with your experiences.

Trans and enby clients find my acceptance, awareness and experience of trans issues key to being able to focus on what they need in therapy.

For neurodiverse individuals, having tools to take into daily life means they experience feeling more positive, are more confident and able to cope themselves in about 10 sessions.

Counselling to meet your needs, your way

Topics and People I work with

  • "I have had the most incredible experience during sessions with you! All my family have been saying that I’m like a different person in terms of my confidence and mood, and I truly cannot express how grateful I am for the time we have spent working together.

    Client (she/her)

  • "You have completely rebuilt my trust in mental health professionals and your constant kindness, observation, thoughtfulness and positive validation have enabled me to cope with my lower moods and stand up for myself in ways that I genuinely believed I would never be able to do."

    Client (she/her)

  • “I was sceptical going into visualisations but they have really worked! I feel happy and wanted to thank you for your support in getting to this point this quickly.”

    Client (he/him)

  • “One of the best decisions I’ve made in my life”

    Client (they/she)

  • “Shame free zone is very powerful. It was built up over time as trust was developed and how you responded to certain things I shared with you. It’s relational.”

    Client (they/them)

  • “Thank you for teaching me that I am valid even now, that there isn’t a criteria for being “trans enough”.
