A professional and supportive therapist…..

Marlene is a professional and supportive therapist who has helped me understand how to manage my life priorities, deal with my problems and I had tried a number of 'therapies' over a period of 20 years and it was not until I met with Marlene and read her book 'Out of Fear and Into Love' that I started to live happily again. Her gentle and professional approach assured me she was listening and understood what I could do to get my life back on track. Marlene is an excellent therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone who has any problem from a simple 'I don't know what is the best option' life decision to more complex problems such as depression and anxiety. Thank you Marlene

Marléne really helped me…..

When I first went to see Marléne, I was in a place of mental isolation, suffering from severe panic attacks and great anxiety, which at its worst changed me from a very open, life-loving person, into an agoraphobic, who hardly ever ventured out. Marléne really helped me through that difficult, and harrowing time. With her help, and some positive life changes, I am now back to my life-loving self, with a few cognitive tools from the sessions with Marlene, that help keep my thoughts and emotions in check.
