I’ve had quite a few therapists before but Marvalyn is by far the best. She listens and doesn’t give generic advice. She understands me and challenges how I think in a way that doesn’t shame me. She is incredible!
More about Marvalyn
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I have many years’ experiences in the social care sector so understand the challenges faced by individuals within society today. I bring this wealth of experience into the therapy room and combine social / psychodynamic and person-centred approaches to all my interactions. I have recently retrained as a life coach so can enable you to take the next steps to bring about the change that you require.
Using all these approaches I am sure that I can support you in achieving the changes that you require as we journey together. Throughout my career I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, faith based as well as issues surrounding ethnicity and discrimination
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach also includes motivational interviewing – so I am able to match your requirements to my skills set.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
If you think that I can help you then get in touch soon.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I had a great Journey with Marvalyn, One thing that stood out to me was that she always asked astute empathetic questions which got me to view my troubles from different angles, I really appreciated having her as my therapist. If I ever need help again she will be my go to.
Marvalyn is incredibly perspicacious, intelligent and kind. Her sessions are full of warmth, patience and experience. I would strongly recommend a conversation with her.
Marvalyn was so amazing! So kind and patient, a really lovely person and easy to talk to. I couldn’t have asked for a more understanding therapist with really good guidance, and if I could pluck 5 real stars from the sky and put them here for her I would!
I only managed to have one session with Marvalyn but I found her to be very insightful and supportive and would recommend.
Marvalyn is extremely intuitive and has a lovely calming voice. I feel she listens and reflects on what we have discussed
