Background and approach

Addictions and mood difficulties are part of her regular caseload, alongside issues such as guilt, shame and isolation. Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed. Marion uses ideas from neuroscience and somatic work to help people notice how stress shows up in the body.

She also draws on methods from cognitive and behavioural approaches when they fit the client’s needs. Marion offers both one-to-one counselling and group supervision. She brings an ethical, compassionate stance to supervision and values reflective practice among clinicians.

Marion holds PACFA as a credential and practises in Australia. She aims to work collaboratively, helping people set small, realistic goals and learn practical skills for managing anxiety and stress. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in close connections. It helps with attachment issues, abandonment worries and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so techniques feel useful and achievable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits deeper conversations where visual cues matter, while phone calls can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact with appropriately qualified or registered professionals.
