YOUR JOURNEY TO HEALING AND GROWTH

​​

Hi, I'm N'na Mariam

​

Multilingual - Person-Centred - BACP Registered Counsellor

​

Do you constantly overthink, feel on edge and snapping at your partner, kids, friends, co-workers then feel guilty?

Do you find yourself multitasking with work, relationships or parenting and feel overwhelmed?

Or do you feel the pressure to ''Keep everyone happy and together'' or ''Make it work'' no matter how this makes you feel? 

Maybe you are the one everyone relies on but you feel exhausted?

Or simply struggle to relax or switch off even when you have time? 

Do you feel like your past pains and struggles are affecting your current and future life?

​

Perhaps you are a young person feeling anxious about school or avoiding school, friendships, family relationships or your future? Or you have strong emotions you are struggling or not sure how to manage?

​​

Seeking help can feel difficult. I hear you. It can be hard to find the right person to talk to. Remember! Asking for help is one of the bravest things to do, the kindest and greatest gift you can give to yourself; it's a life saver. You don't have to do it alone. I am here to help you break barriers and heal.

I am a qualified and dedicated Counsellor who supports young people and adults through life's challenges. I offer a preson-centred approach which means you will lead the sessions and talk about what you feel matters to you.

 

I provide a confidential, calm and safe space where you can:

• Feel respected, listened to and understood

• Explore and process your thoughts or feelings without judgement and at your own pace

• Begin to understand You, what you are going through and learn ways to heal without shame or self blame

• Have many options for your sessions: face to face, online and over the phone.

 

I have experience working with people from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. I speak English, French and Mooré (a language spoken in some parts of West Africa). My multilingual and multi cultural backgrounds and expertise enable me to connect with you in a way that makes you feel valued, understood and relaxed.

 

My professional background includes working with individual clients, facilitating mixed gender Emotional Support Groups and also working as a Trauma-Informed Women Support Group Facilitator with Woman's Trust.  I support people in expressing themselves through creative writing, sharing their experiences, building confidence, learning healthy coping strategies and being kind to themselves. 

 

Alongside my counselling duties, I work part time as a Parent Partnership Support Officer in an educational setting; I support parent programme consultation and evaluation processes, strengthen parent communication, help parents navigate challenges together in their journey to raising future young leaders. This brings a formative and enriching experience to my practice and I am here to support more parents like you in finding space to offload, be yourself, process your thoughts and express your feelings in a safe and confidential space.

 

My experience working as a Teaching Assistant and School Counsellor gives me a deep understanding of young people's emotional well-being and their development. I will support your young person when they face emotional struggles, school avoidance or find it hard to cope in general; I will help them understand their feelings, process them safely, find their sense of self and rebuild confidence and eventually heal, set and achieve their goals.
