Welcome to MKS Counselling
A very warm welcome and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Marilyn and I offer professional, compassionate and confidential counselling and supervision in Reading Berkshire, working with adults over the age of 18.
Counselling offers a unique opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel understood and accepted for who you truly are. Working with a counsellor enables you to resolve internal conflicts which prevent you from being your authentic self and to process any unresolved issues from your past. The counselling relationship creates the right conditions for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and your past experiences.
I work with a relational and integrative approach, drawing from person centred and psychodynamic theories of therapy. This simply means we work together to identify your current difficulties, as well as explore experiences from your past which may be impacting your current life and relationships.
I offer both brief and long term therapy, depending on your individual needs. Working open-endedly enables us to work in much greater depth to identify and explore more complex and persistent issues.
I also specialize in Eating Disorders and I have more than 17 years experience working with clients in private practice. I have 2 years experience of working at Berkshire NHS Trust Eating Disorders Service where I worked with clients with more chronic and complex issues. I have also worked with clients referred to me by the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCfED). If you’d like to know more about how therapy can help with the recovery of an eating disorder please continue reading here.
