Marie Claridge Counselling Chichester

About Marie Claridge

Marie Claridge BA (Hons), MBACP, offers a supportive, confidential counselling service in Chichester. As a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), Marie provides a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Her calm, empathetic presence allows clients to feel seen and heard, often for the first time in a long while.

Marie understands that life can be overwhelming. Balancing work, family, relationships and health is hard—and personal time often disappears under pressure. You might feel anxious, stuck, unhappy, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’ve been carrying a heavy emotional burden or are struggling to recover from something painful. It’s also possible you’ve spent so long taking care of others, you’ve lost sight of your own identity.

Whatever you’re facing, Marie offers compassionate support. She works alongside you to untangle what’s going on and helps you move forward at your own pace. You don’t have to do it all alone.

Services

Marie Claridge Counselling provides professional therapy for adults who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Sessions are client-led, which means you decide what to explore. Marie adapts her approach to suit your needs, ensuring therapy remains focused, respectful and effective.

Anxiety Management
Marie works extensively with clients struggling with anxiety. Whether your anxiety is general, social, or related to specific triggers, she helps you understand its roots and find strategies to cope. Through gentle guidance, you’ll learn to recognise patterns, manage symptoms and regain a sense of calm and control.

Trauma Recovery
If you’ve experienced trauma—whether recent or in the past—Marie offers a safe space for healing. Trauma often leaves people feeling numb, unsafe, or disconnected. Marie supports you with sensitivity and care, helping you process the impact of traumatic experiences and reclaim your sense of self.

Exploring Identity
Many clients arrive unsure of who they really are, especially if they’ve spent years meeting others’ expectations. Marie helps you explore your identity without pressure or judgement. Together, you can rediscover what truly matters to you and begin to build a more authentic life.
