Hello, I'm Marie. I'm glad you are here.
Being on this earth for a while means you witness the rhythms, cycles and the mistakes! I've experience my fair share of tugs and tensions but that's for another time.
I have learnt from this hard won experience and from decades of walking alongside those during their greatest moments of achievement and those struggling to face another day. I've been working in the field of humanistic psychology as a Chartered Psychologist, therapist and yogini for 30 years. I use philosophical lenses and expressive techniques to explore how we each experience the world and draw from existential philosophy, Jungian therapy, psychometrics, hypnosis, breathwork, each based traditions and somatic body work.

Marie Burns, Ch Psychol, MSc, BSc Hons, Dip REBT
​Until 2020 I worked internationally as a Consultant psychologist, based in different countries to support long term development programmes for leaders and their teams. Since 2020 my focus has been teaching both academic courses and practioner programmes for psychologists, counsellors and other help professionals. I continue to hold space for 1:1's and in community.
My career began as a statistician in economic and social data, eventually I switching to psychometrics. I relished unravelling the stories in the data, the insight and meaning.
Stories have always been the foundation of my work helping people understand the hidden stories guiding their life as well as reimagining how they might want to live. As a curator and producer of Ted X and other inspiring programmes and events I help people share their stories on the world stage.
