Background and approach
Marjorie draws on a range of approaches to match what a client needs.

Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may also be used where they suit the person.
People come to her for many concerns, including addictions, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and body image worries.

Approaches and online delivery for practical change
Marjorie commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and helps them feel heard so they can make changes at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.She also employs trauma-focused methods when past harm keeps affecting daily life. That work aims to gently address traumatic memories and the ways they shape feelings and reactions, helping people regain more control over how they think and feel. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process and will be shaped by the person’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists, can adjust methods to suit each format so people can access help in a way that fits their routine.
