About Marshall Coaching Group

Tessa Marshall of Marshall Coaching is at St Ives and Wahroonga in Sydney. She can help you or someone you know who is struggling with reduced enjoyment of life and offers a pragmatic, caring and confidential approach. "As a professional counsellor my approach is to help you to work things through, see options more clearly and gain better perspective. Having someone impartial, who will listen non-judgementally, outside of your family and friends, can often give you peace of mind.

Counselling might be helpful if you: have relationship difficulties, work problems, anxiety; feel tired or teary; haven’t "been yourself" lately; feel overwhelmed; find little to look forward too; aren’t sleeping or have habits you want to change." Career and life coaching are helpful when you have a specific goal you wish to work on in a practical, solution-focussed setting. The sessions help you to build your strengths, tap your inner resources, gain perspective and see options more clearly

I am experienced in relationship counselling, child abuse, incest, grief, depression, self-esteem, addictions, pain management and career counselling. As well as working in private practice, I am: a board member, supervisor, volunteer face-to-face counsellor and facilitate the Suicide Bereavement Support Groups at Lifeline; am a supervisor and trainer on the National Domestic Violence line and do regular presentations to corporations on well-being in the workplace.

I seek to help you build on your strengths, to tap into your own inner resources or, if you are a couple, to work together to reconnect. The first session is an exploration of why you seek counselling, your current situation, what you want to see change and, most importantly, a rapport/trust-building session. Often the presenting problem is not the underlying issue so ongoing sessions explore whatever you, as the client, "bring into the room."
