Counselling and pastoral accompaniment for Catholic clergy

Darline Joseph Marianathan

I am a practising Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist. I have been in the helping profession over 16 years. My Doctorate (DCPsych) at Metanoia Institute/Middlesex University, London has a dual qualification. After the successful completion of my first doctoral Psychotherapy training in 2022, I am pursuing my second (final stage) doctoral thesis and viva for Counselling/Clinical Psychology now. I also hold master’s degrees from British Universities: MSc Psychology of Education (BPS) from Bristol University and MSc Psychology from Exeter University.
I hold membership with various national and international professional bodies including BPS (British Psychological Society), UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
In India I was awarded an MSc in Psychology where I also gained three bachelor’s degrees in economics, theology, and philosophy. I have written in English over 200 short articles in the local newspapers on a variety of contextual themes concerning national and global issues. In addition, I have also written three books in English and several books on neuropsychology and poetry in the Tamil language.
I am a qualified Psychotherapist at a Doctoral level and I feel confident to deal with complexity. My natural inclination is to help people in need. My recent training and qualifications do enhance my inclination especially to those psychologically unwell.
