Hello, my name is Marion. I am a Dunoon-based counsellor offering online and telephone counselling.

I'm concerned to hear what's troubling you and support you through this time so you can move forward in your life. No issue is too small.

'As we are in charge of ourselves, rather than other people, if we want something to change, it is our responsibility to change ourselves. Others will respond to that change or they won’t, and that is not within our control.' - Phillipa Perry
