Margi Appleton
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
I am a BACP registered and accredited counsellor based in West Norfolk.
With over 20 years experience as a counsellor, I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues including addiction, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties. Over the past 12 years I have specialized in working with survivors of trauma and abuse.
I understand that coming for counselling can be a difficult and challenging choice for many people; I know that it requires commitment and can evoke distressing and difficult feelings. I hope to offer you a safe and confidential space where you can explore those feelings and understand how they are affecting your life
Through many years of practice and personal and professional development I have built on my original Person Centred training and I am able to respond creatively and flexibly to the different issues that people may bring to counselling.
I offer face to face sessions in Kings Lynn from premises close to the town centre. I offer telephone counselling.
I also see a limited number of female clients in Cambridge.
