Counselling For You is a private counselling and psychotherapy practice formed by Marion Leslie.

I hold a Diploma in Counselling, Certificates in Supervision, fully trained EMDR Practitioner , Brief Therapy and Couples Counselling, and have also undergone training in Group Facilitation and CBT. I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and am a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor. I have received specialist training in Cancer Counselling from The Cancer Counselling Trust.

I trained at Harrow College and was awarded a Diploma in Counselling by Middlesex University. I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor, and an Approved Person-Centred Supervisor for Metanoia Institute, North Herts College and for Harrow College for whom I supervise students, who are studying for the Foundation Degree (FdA) in counselling.

As well as my private practice as a counsellor and supervisor of both qualified and student counsellors, I have worked in a variety of settings.

My experience includes working in an agency, counselling young people and adults; I have also been employed as a school counsellor. I have experience of working with issues around Domestic Violence, and of working within the NHS as a counsellor for patients in Primary Care. Another area of my experience has included team facilitation within a Hospice.

An additional skill that I employ is EMDR, this is particularly helpful when working with clients who have been traumatised. In addition, I use an integrated model of EMDR for clients who experience Migraines and frequent Headaches.

My experience is that many people are finding out how effective counselling and psychotherapy can be for alleviating depression , anxiety and distress , for recovering from painful or traumatic experiences and losses, and for achieving personal development and change.

Our work together may help you:

• Build your confidence and self-esteem, and gain a deeper understanding of issues.
• Heal wounds.
• Achieve change.
