Welcome

My name is Marcella and I am an experienced, BACP registered Master- NARM therapist; specialising in Complex Trauma.

Psychodynamically trained, with a particular interest in Relational and intersubjective approaches. My personal and clinical experience has led me to believe that we each have the capacity to heal from our early wounds; what ever they may be.

After seeing a need within maternity services, I spent eight years developing and managing a support service for survivors of sexual and physical violence, offering support and advocacy while navigating pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum experience.

My therapy practice and life philosophy has been shaped by this work. I have found that through establishing trusting, honest relationships, sharing insights, listening, believing and having a consent focused service people found their own voice, their own internal selfhood and were able to experience the transition into parenthood as one that offered an opportunity for empowerment and profound healing.

This work has informed my understanding of inter-generational trauma and the need for a holistic mind-body approach to this work.

It has also ignited a passion for creating systemic changes through supporting organisations and medical systems to develop a person-centred, trauma informed approach to care.

In following the needs of the service users, clients and my own personal process of healing I have trained in various mind-body orientated disciplines including, but not limited to Psychodynamic Counselling, Biodynamic Cranial Sacral therapy and the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM).

I have been personally and professionally moved by the transformative power and safety of the NARM approach, I find this is the Model I am most aligned with in my practice.

Outside of my therapeutic work I also offers talks and trainings on Complex-PTSD and what we can do to reduce harm.

I am passionate about shining a light on and exploring the ripple effect of trauma on our bodies and our lives and empowering my clients to transform even the of deepest wounds.

Marcella was brilliant. She gave me some much needed space to heal from a traumatic birth and reconnect again. Her words were thoughtful and resonant and the body work was very peaceful.
