Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here
I’m Mara Fraser. I am a qualified counsellor, and I work with adults both in person and online, supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement and periods of change.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on various counselling methods to tailor therapy to your unique needs.
Above all, I believe that feeling safe, understood, and respected is the foundation of meaningful therapeutic work.
Therapy is your time. A space where you matter, and where your feelings, worries and hopes are held with care.
What it is like to work with me
My approach is gentle, down-to-earth, calm and client-centred. 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.
You can bring anything to our sessions: big feelings, small worries, confusion, grief, frustration, hope, fear, numbness… all emotions are welcome.
You might come for a short period of support, or for a longer exploration. We go at the pace that feels right for you.
With time, therapy can help you:
Feel calmer and more grounded
Understand yourself more deeply
Develop healthier coping tools
Build confidence and self-acceptance
Move through grief, pain or past wounds
Strengthen your inner resilience
Reconnect with hope, clarity and possibility
It doesn’t matter where you start from. What matters is that you don’t have to do it alone.
What’s next?
If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out. Curiosity, uncertainty, or a sense that something isn’t quite right can be enough.
If something here resonates with you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
