We must first have a healthy relationship with ourselves before we can have healthy relationships with others.

She is experienced and trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Strength Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-centred Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gotmman Method Couples Therapy and Career Counselling.

​

Counselling therapy has benefits for everyone because of its potential to enrich one’s life and address unhelpful patterns, behaviours, beliefs and unresolved issues that have developed through life experiences. The mind and body are intricately connected and cannot be separated. As a Holistic Counsellor, Marika has an integrated approach to address the whole person. Integration of the mind and body incorporating the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the whole self is key to realising a healthy sense of wellbeing.

"The simple act of nominating and bringing a focus to areas in our life that are not working or not clear can be life changing and make such a difference to our lives."

Marika offers counselling sessions in person, online and by phone.
