About Us

You can contact us via email at mail@carpediemcounselling.org.uk

Carpediem Counselling was established by Marie (Maz) Boyce,RMN, Cert C, Dip C, who has over 20 years experience in this field. Counselling has changed considerably over the last 20 years and Carpediem has been set up to take full advantage of new technology to help their clients. The first of these services is to use MSN Messenger to offer clients confidential counselling from their own homes and outside normal working hours.

Her career began working in a large psychiatric hospital where she spent nine years working in the acute services division. This gave her a huge amount of experience in dealing with people from all walks of life.

Feeling the need for a new challenge, Maz took the next logical step and became qualified as a counsellor. Since the completion of the the courses she has held positions in Woman's Aid, The National Childbirth Trust and Basingstoke Rape and Sexual Abuse Crisis Centre.

Further courses she has completed include Bereavement Care, Police Forensics, Dealing with Terminal Care and Supporting Parents through Stillbirth, Premature Death of a Child and Termination due to Foetal Anomoly. These have given her a wide breadth of expereince and skill that has lead her to launching this online counselling service.

Maz is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and her registration number is 592554.
