Welcome
About
I work with women navigating the turmoil of life, perhaps redefining how to live after a diagnosis of neurodivergence, illness or coming to menopause.
Whilst deep breaths and self care are important, they help us to manage symptoms, find relief and to feel better. This is never meant to be a solution for the struggles of life. Transition comes from restoring trust in ourselves which we cultivate from feeling uncomfortable in liminal spaces and setting out values as a pathway for growth.
My work is here to support and guide you. I am deeply committed to respecting your individuality, helping you to cultivate inner wisdom and restore faith in yourself so you can express who you are more fully. The work we will do together is rooted in relationship...in safety, truth, compassion and accountability.
I'm a Chartered Psychologist (over 30 years) and psychotherapist (15 years) and my approach is grounded in experiential philosophy, Jungian Depth psychology and verdanta yoga meditation. My expertise includes hypnosis, rational emotional behavioural therapy and somatic psychotherapy. I've lived and worked with many cultures and believe that no one approach fits all.
You can work with me 1:1, join group therapeutic coaching, a workshop, retreat or my online sangha. The first half of my career I worked globally as a Chartered Psychologist with organisations such as MTI Consulting Group, BBC Radio, HM Treasury and Coca Cola. I've taught psychology and psychotherapy for three decades and support many practioners through mentoring and supervision.
I'm Marie,
I create spaces in which you can breathe, cultivate inner wisdom and restore faith in yourself.
What people say...
"For me you are not just a teacher, you are an inspiration, someone who helps me open my eyes, my mind and soul..helped me to listen to my gut and body. You provide a magical process of transformation and creation." (Daniela)
"It's easy to want a structured dictator to tell me how to live, you help me find my own path, my own way, learning to trust myself. This process has been scary for me but I'm coming to understand that this is how we become the true version of ourselves." (Emma)
"I want to thank you personally, in this short time i've known you, you have been quite inspirational to me. What you teach and how you live resonated with me a great deal. You have inspired me to really look further into these philosophies, practices and rituals you have taught me. I believe there is empowerment in living more holistically. I want to bring this to my personal and professional life." (Jeanette)

About me
Today my past makes sense. In my late forties I was diagnosed as neurodivergent after decades of silent struggle from a mental health diagnosis in my twenties that shamed me as untreatable. It's become clear that many women were misdiagnosed with stigmatising personality disorders with no effective treatment. We learnt to survive by masking who we are. Today we know that when we pretend our body revolts resulting in autoimmune conditions and lowering our life expectancy.
Age forty-three my body brought me to a halt. The decades of never-ending self-improvement hacks and mainstream therapy symptom management were actually a disservice because they failed to tackle the root cause...to live according to our true nature. Today this is my daily practice, city girl gone Highlands of Scotland I share my no bs hard-won experience and expertise with others.
