Mary Williamson
Psychodynamic Counsellor 

It may be that you have emotional or practical difficulties that you need to talk over. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression or anger but you are not sure of their source or it could be that you recognize it as one of the following:-

♦ Bereavement
♦ A relationship or family difficulty
♦ Sadness or ‘home sickness’ as a result of separation from friends and family
♦ Feelings of helplessness and dependence from lack of language and living in a different country
♦ Financial difficulties
♦ An ongoing difficulty such as an addiction or eating disorder

Whatever you need to talk over, I will listen and work with you to understand your feelings. I try to help you find possible courses of action but you may find that it is enough to have been listened to.

I am offering:

• Face to face counselling sessions

• Telephone or Skype consultations

• Help on line or through emails

As I offer counselling through our association, Blue Horizons, my fees are negotiable and range from 15€ to 40€ per session.

Who am I?
I am a qualified counsellor with a Diploma in counselling. Before moving to France eight years ago, I practised as a psychodynamic counsellor in North London and was responsible for and taught on counselling courses in a college of further education. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work to their code of ethics. 


I describe myself as a `psychodynamic counsellor`- what does that mean?
Sometimes the source of our feelings is evident and what we are seeking is someone who will listen and understand and help us to find the strength to make decisions. However sometimes we don’t understand why we feel so angry, anxious or depressed or why we keep making the same mistakes.

I think that the answer may sometimes lie in the forgotten or misunderstood past. Along with our innate temperament, our past experiences to some extent determine our present and future. If we can accept who we are and come to terms with buried difficulties or traumatic experiences that we may have had, there is a chance of moving on in the present. It is not a matter of explaining and blaming others for our unhappiness but of `working it through` in relation to the counsellor.
