Patient feedback
"I completed my sessions with Marrissa Dynowski, aimed at helping me with grief. I have found the sessions, my first ever counselling experience, to be very helpful indeed. Marrissa helped me settle into the process very well, understood me very quickly and helped me adjust to the wholly new experience for me – I am an ex-Military, Engineer, male in my 50s – talking about feelings is not in my usual make up!"
"She helped me through my journey, in my way, with supportive advice, occasional challenge when required, frameworks and models to suit my way of processing things, and always in a friendly and supportive way."
"Marrissa was flexible, and timely with our sessions, and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone."
