About

 

 

Hello, I’m Marie, and I’m passionate about helping individuals transform their lives. I have a diverse background and a wealth of experience, bringing together a unique blend of skills and knowledge to support my clients in their journey towards healing, growing and transforming.

 

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by my own life experiences and the challenges I’ve overcome. With a background spanning 25 years in the military, security, and defence, I have learned the importance of resilience, adaptability, and determination. As a former British Army soldier, I was taught to adapt, improvise, and overcome—skills that I apply daily in both my personal and professional life.

​

​Over the past eight years, I’ve expanded my knowledge and skills by studying Psychology with The Open University, becoming a mental health first aider, a Befriender for a local mental health charity, and a certified hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT). I trained under Marisa Peer, the creator of RTT, whose pioneering approach combines the most effective techniques from hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, and psychotherapy.

 

Life throws curveballs at all of us, and I’ve faced my share. Despite thriving on challenges, I experienced a period where everything came crashing down. I found myself dealing with anxiety (chest pains and panic attacks), emotional turmoil, brain fog, and eventually depression. The signs were there—smoking, drinking, running myself into the ground, and burying my head in the sand. These experiences have fuelled my passion for helping others navigate their struggles and find their way to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

 

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the mind, body, and spirit to create lasting change. I combine evidence-based techniques with a compassionate and non-judgmental presence, ensuring that my clients feel safe and supported throughout their healing process.

​

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic environment where your unique experiences and needs are honoured. We will work together to uncover the root causes of your struggles and develop personalised strategies to help you thrive. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or seeking general personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.

 

Outside of my professional life, I am an avid reader, a nature enthusiast, and a holistic therapist. These interests help me stay grounded and bring a well-rounded perspective to my therapeutic practice.
