Mary-Ann Counselling

           Hello and Welcome                  

My name is Maryann and I am an experienced BACP registered counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering a warm, compassionate, safe  and inclusive therapeutic environment, where you are able to explore without fear of judgement, the difficulties you are experiencing.

 My practice is based in the BH9 area of Bournemouth and  is within easy reach of surrounding areas. Both on road and off road parking is available.  

I also provide webcam counselling using Zoom, telephone counselling, or home visit counselling for those who are home bound


There are times when many of us feel we could benefit from emotional support and although making that first step to see a counsellor can take tremendous courage, it is a really positive step, as talking in confidence to a professional counsellor can help bring healing and clarity, and give you much needed support during a painful or anxious time in your life.

Counselling can also  enable you to gain personal insight and awareness and this can lead to improved self esteem and assist you in developing a sense of positivity and optimism.

How Will Counselling Help?

Sometimes life will throw up unexpected challenges that seem impossible to cope with. Perhaps  something specific is troubling you, or you have experienced a loss or separation that you are finding difficult to come to terms with.  A painful memory from your past may affect the way you live your life or relate to others and you feel now is the time to receive counselling, to help put the past behind you.

Other reasons might be because you have a decision to make, or you are experiencing anxiety or depression.  Perhaps you or someone close to you is struggling with substance misuse or you are going through difficulties  at work.

Whatever brings you to therapy, counselling can help you make sense of your emotions and responses and empower you to make changes in your life. It facilitates the freedom to talk openly and confidentially, in a place where you will be really listened to.  Counselling will give you the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings, without fear of criticism or judgement in a safe, supportive, inclusive, emphatic and caring environment.
