MY PROFILE

My name is Maria Marshall and I have worked with individuals who have experienced a range of issues such as anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, miscarriages, pre- and post-abortion stress-related issues and general anxiety disorder. In the event we cannot provide a service to meet your needs, we will do our best, either, to signpost you and give you relevant information so that you can receive the help you would need to enhance you emotional wellbeing. 

My past experience includes working in a National Health Service (NHS) setting.  In addition, I have had the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary team in supporting clients from different ethnicity, class races, gender, and age. I also worked with people who experienced low case problem, issues, such as anxiety, stress, clinical depression, separation, redundancy, behaviour disorder, sex, physical and emotional abuse.

My experience extends to working in a bereavement setting - giving support to clients who may be experiencing grief, through the losses of a loved one or a pet who was close to them. Working in this setting allows me to be in touch with the feelings of people and meet them where they are. I have been able to develop compassion in helping people work on their grief, and quiet feelings which some grieving people encounter.

Moreover, I have carried out therapeutic work with young women in group settings: teaching them how to overcome fear, stress, anxiety, and depression through organic approaches, in order to achieve a peak performance so they  can function adequately and regain stability. 

Additionally, I have worked with couples in preparing for marriage and after marriages. using the Prepare/Enrich programmes.

Working in the community:- 

My community experience includes conducting health awareness sessions and promoting health and well-being.  Additionally, I have hosted Lifestyle and Restoration Seminars which gave me the opportunity to work with people who have been suffering from cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Since some of these diseases may cause depression, I have helped them to work on their negative thoughts and emotional issues since some people who are suffering from these health condition may be isolated and withdrawn. These sessions have allowed them to be empowered by learning how to apply these new skills so that they can manage their daily life.
