Professional Background

Marion co-founded Carlton Psychology to build a clinical practice that delivers high-quality care. She blends her psychotherapy work with her prior experience in senior corporate management and teaching.

Therapeutic Approach

Marion uses an integrative approach. She draws on humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT). She offers both short-term and long-term therapy. We also lead group workshops. Because she tailors therapy to each person, she meets clients where they are.

She creates a safe, non-judgemental space for exploration, she listens deeply and she asks insightful questions. We use evidence-based frameworks. Her clients learn practical tools to understand and transform life patterns, past experiences, and relationship dynamics.
