Marzena Steels

I am a psychodynamic/psychotherapeutic counsellor/therapist using dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), person-centred and humanistic approaches. I work with people who have alcohol addiction, drug addiction, prescription drug misuse, eating disorders, and sex and love addiction. I offer group therapy, couples therapy and family counselling both face-to-face and online. I also work with anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, trauma, suicidal thoughts, relationship/marital problems, bereavement, coping skills, emotional disturbance, stress and suicide attempts. 
I hold an MA in Educational Care and Therapy/Psychology plus multiple diplomas and certificates in various areas of psychotherapy and counselling. My background is psychology/psychotherapy with 11 years in practice and 19 years of training and experience in psychotherapy. 

I provide a safe, therapeutic, non-judgemental and confidential environment where you can talk freely and honestly about what is concerning you. Together, we can take the time to explore your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours as well as reflecting on your life, relationships and work, amongst other issues. 
Whatever you are feeling now, there is hope. Life can be really difficult and you may think that people don’t understand you because of what you are going through. Sometimes, you need someone to listen to you, to help you to understand what is actually happening. I can help you to walk through this journey, and find a way to a safe place towards healing and restoration, which respects your values and beliefs. You can talk about any issues that bother you and explore your feelings without judgement. I have many years of training and experience in a broad range of topics in psychotherapy, counselling and educational therapy.
