Hello
I'm Marie,
​
Change begins with the breath...the moment to moment awareness.
I'm an Experiential therapist, Chartered Psychologist, psychotherapist and yogini. I use philosophical lenses and expressive techniques to explore how we experience the world. I draw from humanistic and existential philosophy, Jungian therapy, psychometric questionnaires, hypnosis, breathwork, somatic body work and incantations. I've been working for over 30 years in this field of humanistic experiential psychology so I have rather alot of experience and expertise to drawn on.

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.
