Counselling by Marie Edgar

I am a fully qualified Counselling Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience. I support individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges, in Cambridgeshire and online. 

Our brains are complex. Life is complex. Counselling helps to identify and treat a whole range of issues, from how they show up in the present, to their roots in the past.

Some of the areas I specialise in include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement, redundancy, relationship problems, sexual problems, family problems, post-traumatic stress, addiction, abuse, and more. What is on your mind?

Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending – to rise strong, recognise our story, and rumble with the truth until we get to a place where we think, yes. This is what happened. And I will choose how the story ends.

You are not alone

Sometimes our brains can tell us that no-one will understand, but so many people have stood in your shoes, whatever has happened or is happening. I am here to support you. Read their messages to you 

You are brave

You are braver than you think you are. You are on this website, looking into how to change things. You’ve taken the first step. I can guide you through the rest.

You matter

So often we just struggle through life, if we can, giving an automatic response of ‘yeah I’m fine’, pushing everything down, but you deserve more than that. Life can be more than that.

What if you could …

Put down that big heavy suitcase, loaded with issues, worries and emotions, you’ve been lugging around? Maybe it’s been getting in your way, dragging you down, limiting you. Think how lovely it would feel to set it down. Think how much more you could see and do. 

Sometimes it feels like if you ‘go there’ you’ll fall off a cliff, but actually when you do it’s like the weight you’ve been carrying goes over instead, and you can step back without it.  

The thing is …

You might think everything will unravel if you start picking at it, and it does, in a very carefully managed way, at your own pace, with me, until instead of tightly wound ball of knots, you have one free piece of string back. 

Everyone needs help sometimes

Do you know what? It’s often the strongest, most resilient, people who come to therapy. The survivors. There is only strength in learning and finding the tools that will help you live a better, happier life.

It’s ok not to have the answers

We know to be good at other skills we need to learn them – reading, writing, driving, swimming, your favourite sport, the latest technology – whatever it might be. We don’t expect anyone to magically ‘just know’ how to do these things. 

We are not taught how to manage emotions, difficult situations, or even life. We absorb and develop patterns based on our experiences, good or bad. 

Be kind to your mind. It’s doing its best to help you, but it might just need to learn a better way. I will guide you through.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
