Sheila Marston MBACP

Sheila Marston MBACP
Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy

I am a qualified and experienced trauma therapist and counsellor, based at The Cottage Therapy Centre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

My aim in counselling is to create a therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe enough to explore and express their thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged. I work with the client at their pace, to help them discover a way forward and bring about any desired change.

Initially I trained as a person centred counsellor and this approach is still at the heart my way of working. However as my practice has developed I have become more integrative and now combine cognitive behavioural and EMDR into my practice. This enables me to meet the individual needs of each client and also offer evidence based therapy in line with the NICE guidelines.

I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and treat all information disclosed as strictly confidential.

For further information please contact me:
