Description about therapeutic approaches: 

Marlee is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counselling. Marlee’s approach is person-centred with an emphasis on cultivating mindful curiosity and self-compassion. Marlee has a particular interest in supporting clients with relationship challenges, emotion regulation and identity assertion.

Drawing on a diverse pool of therapeutic frameworks—including attachment theory, depth psychology, parts work, polyvagal theory, and somatic practices—Marlee tailors her approach to fit the unique needs and experiences of each client.
