Closer than we’ve been in years
We had drifted into living a life in parallel but never really truly together. We were at the point of deciding to part company but you helped us recover the love we both knew deep down that we wanted.

The homework was invaluable
We were going around in circles. We had had sessions a few years ago but we were back to the same problems. The worksheets and videos really helped us take what we had recognised in our sessions and put new ways of communicating into proper practice. We now have skills we never had before. Thank you

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.
