Let Go Of The Past To Feel Lighter & Able To Embrace Tomorrow

Counselling Anxiety Burton upon Trent

Because The Past No Longer Has To Define You

Does your past hold you hostage?

Even though your life looks pretty good from the outside, there is something inside you, you just cannot shift. You feel weighed down. You feel exhausted. You feel depleted.

Something in your past still shows up for you today. It clouds your present and burdens you. And no matter how hard you try, it just won’t go away.

Maybe it was a one-off experience. Maybe you had a difficult childhood. Maybe you’ve experienced a loss you can’t get over. Or maybe you’ve been in an abusive relationship.

Whatever it is, there is a way out.

And you know that you deserve more.

A New Way

At Therapy That Works, we understand that healing from trauma requires more than just tough talk, pulling yourself together or retelling the same stories over and over again.

We offer a proactive, solution-focused approach delivered with compassion and respect.

Our therapy in Burton upon Trent, as well as the online sessions, are designed to empower educated clients like you to:

  • Process past experiences in a safe, supportive environment.
  • Develop healthy coping strategies to manage emotions effectively.
  • Gain control over your narrative and rewrite the story of your life.
  • Let go of the pain that has held you back so you can move on with confidence.
  • Make real-life changes that actually work and last.

You’ll Be Working With An International Expert Locally

Marlena Tillhon MSc is a highly experienced professional who specialises in trauma-informed care.

She utilises evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs, intellectual understanding and emotional state.

Here’s what makes her work stand out:

A Compassionate Yet Effective Approach

Your comfort and well-being are prioritised. Marlena provides you with a calm and safe space to explore, process and heal. There is no judgment, no blame, no shame – just understanding and a strong focus on healing, growing and moving on.

A Strengths-Based Focus

Marlena is very good at detecting the strengths within you, you may have normalised or dismissed. Together, you’ll build on those to unlock your desire and motivation to become who you know you were always meant to be. 

Individualised Treatment Plans

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and so Marlena creates a customised roadmap specific to your goals and situation. This is about creating a process that actually works for you and that will become your new normal. After all, no one benefits from a plan that’s all about effort and self-discipline! 

A Comprehensive Approach

Marlena and you will look at how to bring your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, behaviours and overall energy into more harmony and alignment. Everything has to integrate and work together well for you to enjoy lasting change and happiness.

Empowerment Over Blame

Marlena equips you with the tools to navigate powerful emotions and difficult states of mind to reclaim control of your life. 

Somatics Included

Trauma lives in your body and intellectual understanding alone doesn’t work (otherwise browsing Instagram would have healed you by now!). Marlena focuses on all aspects and helps you work with your body to release stored up trauma.
