Hello, I’m Marsha, founder of SCT Counselling & Wellbeing. I provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients can feel heard, valued and accepted. My approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, supporting individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions and life experiences at their own pace. I believe that healing begins through genuine connection, empathy and self-awareness. Alongside counselling, I have a passion for promoting wellbeing, mindfulness and personal growth, helping clients build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change. SCT stands for Supporting Connection & Transformation, reflecting my commitment to walking alongside clients as they move towards greater wellbeing and fulfilment.

I recently met Marsha for an open air session on a glorious summer’s day near Surbiton . Marsha is quick to make you feel at ease and you are very aware that you are being supported and validated as an individual . She is moreover non judgemental and you feel strongly that anything and everything you talk about is in complete trust .
Marsha has a very strong positive, caring and loving aura . She talks and listens with great empathy and compassion . She is a great communicator , genuine , flexible and very professional in how she treats her clients .
Upon leaving I left feeling helped , heard , respected , at ease , supported and valued .
I look forward to booking future sessions with this marvellous counsellor ,

I am incredibly grateful for Marsha as she is a dream councillor to work with, leading with such a professional yet friendly approach which I believe is key. She has personally helped me get through hard times in my life with her insight, knowledge and advice, making it so easy to be vulnerable in times I needed to be!

I am really grateful for the support I’ve received from Marsha, she has been incredibly understanding, patient and non-judgmental, which made it much easier for me to talk openly about my anxiety.
The sessions have helped me understand my anxiety better and, more importantly, have given me practical tools and coping strategies to manage it in everyday life. I’ve noticed a real difference in how I handle difficult thoughts and situations, and I feel much more confident in myself as a result.
I truly appreciate the care and support she has given me and would highly recommend Marsha to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or simply needs someone who genuinely listens and understands.
Marsha Thorpe

It’s wonderful to hear that you’re feeling more confident in yourself. Thank you for your trust and for your kind recommendation.💜
