Testimonials

“Focusing has completely transformed my life.”

“I had developed severe chronic pain, which led to me also struggling with my mental health. I was introduced to Focusing through counselling and found it hugely beneficial, but I wanted to learn more and to have some guided sessions, so I approached Marion. My hope was that Focusing would enable me to live better with my pain; it’s certainly done that!

With Focusing I learnt to live comfortably with my pain and the sensations in my own body, so that the pain no longer dominates my life or even detracts from it. It has helped me to move closer to recovery and regain activities which I lost because of the pain. Focusing has enabled me to approach life differently. To be more present, and to listen more attentively and compassionately. As a result, I feel more connected with the things that are most important to me in life. Focusing has helped me to be more myself and to live the most meaningful life that I can.

Marion has been an amazing teacher providing a reassuring and supportive presence when I needed it. She has a gentle and intuitive style of teaching which I found easy to relate to. Marion supported my journey with focusing with an approach which was tailored to me and was exactly what I needed. She has a wonderful way of inspiring confidence, which has helped me feel comfortable with taking forwards Focusing beyond the sessions.”

“My experience was that Focusing is a gentle but extremely effective approach.”

“My journey with Marion began after my psychotherapist had suggested that I look into Focusing. To this point, I felt I had analysed myself to the enth degree but still felt there were parts of myself that I just couldn’t access.

Marion was incredibly skilled at teaching and guiding me on a path to unravel these ‘stuck’, ‘unknown’ and (now I realise) ‘unacknowledged’ aspects to my being.  She is a very kind, sensitive and gentle person but extremely astute at keeping you on track.  I felt very confident and safe at all times.

My experience was that Focusing is a gentle but extremely effective approach and helps you listen to your body rather than the overactive mind. Like many approaches, it takes time and is something to cultivate but it left me feeling I had grown a bit more into myself.  I highly recommend Marion as a Focusing Practitioner. I simply don’t think I could have found a better professional.”
