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 completed counselling sessions with Marsha, and the experience was genuinely transformative. Each session was tailored to address the issues most pressing to me at the time, which made the process feel personal and purposeful rather than overly structured.
What set this experience apart was that it extended well beyond simply having a space to talk. Marsha helped me develop a deeper level of self-awareness and cultivate a more open-minded approach — both in how I relate to myself and to those around me. Perhaps most valuable was learning to clearly distinguish between what is within my control and what I needed to release because it was not.
I also appreciated that Marsha was able to incorporate my faith and belief in God into our sessions when I needed it, offering a sense of spiritual grounding alongside the practical guidance. Her approach combines genuine, attentive listening with actionable skills. I left each session equipped with something concrete to work with, not just a sense of having been heard. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking counselling that is both compassionate and results-driven, and open to a faith-integrated approach.

Thank you so much, Kristen, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. I’m incredibly grateful for your trust and for allowing me to support you throughout your journey. It means so much to hear that you found the sessions personal, purposeful and practical, and that you were able to develop greater self-awareness and clarity around what you could control and what you could release.
I’m also grateful that you felt comfortable bringing your faith into our work when it was meaningful to you. Creating a space where each person can explore what is important to them, while receiving compassionate and practical support, is something I value deeply.
Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. It has been a pleasure to support you. 💜
