Marian Bernadette Therese Alba

MA, RPsy

I am a compassionate counseling psychologist specializing in Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Gestalt approaches. With extensive experience in supporting individuals through Abuse, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Work-Life Balance challenges, I offer personalized care tailored to each person's unique needs and experiences. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients, gently exploring different perspectives and therapeutic approaches to help them feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients can express themselves freely, find clarity, and build resilience. Healing is not linear, and personal growth takes time. I remind my clients often: Be patient with yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself, especially on the difficult days. You don’t have to go through it alone—I’m here to walk with you, to guide and support you as you navigate your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from the session?

Each session offers a safe and supportive space centered around you—your experiences, your pace, and your personal journey. Whether you're new to therapy or returning after some time, we’ll begin by understanding what brings you here and what you hope to explore or work through. Sessions can vary—some may be calm and reflective, while others might feel more focused and goal-oriented. There’s no pressure to have all the answers; we’ll navigate things together, step by step. As your therapist, my role is to help you make sense of what feels confusing, to bring clarity to what feels heavy or overwhelming, and to support you in finding direction and understanding. Growth takes time, so I invite you to be kind and patient with yourself throughout this process. Please note: the therapeutic approach I use will be tailored to your specific concerns and needs.

How long do I need to wait to get a response to my booking request?

During the psychologist's scheduled working hours, especially when she is in a session, please allow up to 1-2 hours for a response. On days off, anticipate a reply within the day.

Do you issue Medical Certificates?

Yes, I issue mental health certificates. This document, affixed with my signature, is provided for specific and valid reasons after a consultation.
