If so, I might be the right person to walk along your side on this journey and help you navigate through that difficult time by being present for you and giving you a safe space to explore what is going on within and see if there is any trigger.

About Me

Marie Josée Brigitte Bhoyroo

BA Hons in Counselling and Theology
• Qualified Integrative Psychotherapist
• A registered member of the BACP (MBACP)

 

I am an integrative counsellor with a degree BA Hons in Counselling and Theology. I work integratively with a holistic and relational approach which means that I do not focus only on your mental health but I also take into account your social, and spiritual factors. I use the psychodynamic therapy to go deeper in your history and the person centred to go in the core of empathy with active listening while being congruent. I also combine other different therapeutic approaches to fit your needs. It is important for me to build a therapeutic bond with you from the beginning to create a trustful environment where you feel accepted with a non-judgmental approach so that we can work together  in a safe and healthy way on the different areas that are affecting you.

About Me

My Bio

My Bio

Originally from Mauritius, I came to UK in 2001 with my three children and the youngest was 5 years old. Everything was different from our lifestyle in Mauritius and I felt unqualified to find a job. I was a stay-at-home mother and I loved it. I learned how to become an active listener, how to read the body language, to be patient, compassionate when they made mistakes. The hardest personal challenge was to accept that I was not always right and I had to explore why there was so much resistance in me to acknowledge that fact. This wrestling of my inner thoughts brought me on a journey of understanding who I am.

I was unaware that I had already started practising counselling methods at home and this led me to pursue a Counselling degree. Today, I am so proud of my three boys and can say that it was worth staying at home for them. On that course, I became aware of my ‘inner self’ and all my defence mechanisms. 

It was a challenging journey but now I feel equipped to help you if you are dealing with conflicts in your innermost being. It is my passion to walk along your side and gently nudge you on your path to find your own self. The goal is for you to be able to accept who you are as a person and hence make meaning of your life. I believe that it is imperative to accept yourself before you can accept others. I use a few approaches which are; psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, person-centred, relational, and the solution focused which is mostly for the client who can only do short sessions. I aim to accommodate to your need accordingly. More importantly I work on a relational basis and holistically as I understand mind, body and soul to be interconnected.
