Love Yourself First Counselling

Hello and welcome

I am Marcella Kimber (BA Hons, Dip.Couns) an experienced, fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor on the accredited BACP register and Energy Healer Practitioner, trained by the Healing Trust. My niche is an integrative holistic approach, working intuitively with clients from age 13 years old to provide support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs.

I provide a safe, nurturing space for your emotional and energetic healing journey, with a focus on compassion, empowerment, and holistic wellness. The goal is to guide you towards a balanced and fulfilling life.

While I was completing my counselling training, I was part of the counselling service at Gorton Monastery and counselled clients with a range of issues, including, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

I have counselled primary school children with Place2Be for a year, which was play therapy counselling. I have an enhanced DBS certificate because I work with children.

I was a volunteer counsellor with Ashgate Hospice where I did part of my counselling training and stayed on as a qualified counsellor for 1 year. I counselled via Zoom or telephone, helping clients to find the strength to move forward in life after a bereavement or to come to terms with a terminal cancer diagnosis of a famlily member.

I feel extremely grateful to have been given the chance to work for these amazing charities and have gained valuable experienced working with a diverse range of clients including adults and children.

Bereavement Counselling

I was unsure whether counselling was something I would benefit from – working with Marcella proved me wrong. She was easy to talk to and gauged the right approach for me. At the end of the sessions I found I could reflect on my grief in a positive way and work towards my repositioning. She helped me not to think to far ahead and to the value of self care.

Therapist

Marcella is an excellent counsellor.
At my first session she listened to the issues that took me to needing a therapeutic intervention. Then she explained the structure of our forthcoming sessions clearly and I felt safe and comfortable to be open and trust the process of getting better.

Marcella gave me many ideas and relevant sources of information to utilise after my weekly sessions.
I have made great improvements after just 5 weeks, and am positive that this will get even better during our future sessions. I can’t recommend Marcella enough.
