Thinking of starting?
If you are considering therapy, you are very welcome to get in touch.
I offer a free, 15-minute introductory call so you can ask questions and see if working together feels right for you.
Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here
I’m Mara Fraser, a qualified counsellor offering in-person and online therapy to adults.
I work with people who may be anxious, overthinking, unsure of themselves, overwhelmed and struggling to cope with life.
Maybe you look like you are coping, but inside, you are just about keeping your head above water. Or perhaps you spend so much time trying to please others, you have little time for your own needs.
Therapy is the space where this can start to change.
From constant overthinking → to feeling in control of your thoughts
From feeling stuck in patterns → to understanding and changing them
From emotional overwhelm → to feeling grounded and steady
What’s it like to work with me?
Sessions are typically held weekly, last 60 minutes, and are in person or via Google Meet.
You can talk, sit quietly, or not know what to say. All feelings are OK.
My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, calm and client-centred.
I offer a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what is on your mind.
I will work alongside you, helping you explore your feelings at your own pace.
I’ll never rush you or push you to go somewhere you’re not ready. Instead, we work together, steadily and kindly, exploring what’s happening for you and what you need.
I believe that when you feel truly heard and understood, things can begin to shift in a meaningful and lasting way.
I often work with people experiencing:
Anxiety and constant overthinking
Low self-esteem and self-doubt
Feeling stuck or unsure about their direction in life
Relationship difficulties
Life transitions and change
Phobias
A general feeling that something isn’t right
You don’t have to fit into any particular category. If you are struggling, reach out.
A bit about me
Before I became a counsellor, I trained as a Registered Nurse. Over time, I was drawn to understanding what shapes how we feel and relate to others. My personal experience and training have shown me how valuable it can be to have a space where you can be yourself without judgment.
