McMaster Counselling & Therapy

Welcome

Mara McMaster

Fully Qualified Therapeutic Counsellor

My name is Mara and I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor. For me the therapeutic value of therapy is about creating a safe space for the client in which they can start their process of healing.

I am a person-centered therapist, which means I will enable you to tell your story in a way that is not about giving advice but more about empowering you to make the changes that you are looking to make. This might be about yourself or in your relationships with others.

The focus of my Therapy is to enable you to explore the parts of you that you wish to look at and to make sense of the world around you.

I believe in working to discover your true self so that you leave the therapy confident and ready to be in the world as the person you truly are meant to be.

Together we can explore the challenges you might be facing and from those challenges discover solutions which will enable personal growth.

Walking & Talking Sessions

Not all clients feel comfortable talking in a counselling room, some appreciate being outside and connecting with nature and fresh air. My Walking & Talking sessions take place in a calming outside environment, which offers the client a space to feel relaxed and mindful. Dogs are also welcome!
