About me

Marilyn offers a range of assessments and therapies to adolescents and adults.

People can often experience a range of difficulties that may feel overwhelming and may be impacting on various areas of life. Marilyn will undertake a comprehensive assessment whereby current difficulties are explored and considered within the context of one's life experiences, relationships, abilities and cultural background. Using this information a formulation is jointly produced between the client and Marilyn, which enhances understanding of how problems may have arisen and what maintains them.

Options for the type of therapy model to be used are then explored based on a clients specific needs. Psychologists are trained to use a range of therapies and will tailor interventions to individual need. Marilyn uses a range of models, but predominantly draws on cognitive, cognitive behavioural, and cognitive analytic models of therapy.

Sessions are generally held on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
