About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming.
You might find your mind constantly racing, struggling to switch off at night, or feeling stuck in patterns of worry and overthinking. Many of the people who contact me say they feel exhausted by their thoughts or as though they are just getting through the day.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and things really can begin to feel different.
Based near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, I help people who are experiencing anxiety, stress and overthinking to feel calmer, clearer and more in control again.
My approach is calm, practical and forward looking. Rather than analysing problems, we focus on helping your mind settle, building on your strengths and helping you move towards how you would like to feel.
Sessions are relaxed and supportive, and we work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Many of the people who come to see me are professionals who appear to be holding everything together on the outside but feel exhausted by the pressure underneath. They are often used to coping and pushing through, and may not realise how much ongoing pressure has been affecting their sleep, confidence or overall wellbeing.
People often contact me for support with
- anxiety, stress and overthinking
- feeling overwhelmed or close to burnout
- low confidence and self doubt
- sleep problems
- intrusive thoughts and fears
- IBS and stress related symptoms
- difficult life changes or transitions
Before retraining as a hypnotherapist I spent many years working in fast paced marketing roles, so I understand how easy it is to become caught in the cycles of pressure and self doubt. Discovering hypnotherapy made a profound difference in my own life and led me to retrain so that I could help others experience the same shift.
Clients often tell me that sessions feel calm, reassuring and practical. My aim is to create a space where you can feel understood and supported while helping you begin to move forward in a positive way.
The first step is simply a free consultation. This is a relaxed conversation where we can talk about what has been going on for you, how you would like things to be different and how I can help. It also gives you the chance to ask any questions and see whether it feels like the right fit.
I offer in person sessions near Aylesbury and online sessions.

Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
info Information about health conditions (*)
Hypnotherapy can enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting hypnotherapy.
Other areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is effective for a wide variety of physical and emotional challenges. Every session is tailored to your unique needs because many physical symptoms are closely linked to stress and anxiety. By addressing these underlying factors, clients often experience significant improvements not only in their emotional wellbeing but also in related physical issues.
Feel free to ask about any specific concerns—I'm here to help you explore how hypnotherapy can support your overall health and wellbeing.

Hear from people who felt just like you:
"This has been an incredibly positive experience! Thank you Marina! I would highly recommend this therapy to anybody that is looking to make lasting change in their life. The provision of practical tools, which can be easily incorporated into daily life, allow positive change from day one. I have learned that it is the smallest steps forward that make the biggest differences so if you are struggling with the small things, I would highly recommend this therapy." - 5* Google review by Catherine
"I cannot possibly put into words the difference Marina made to my life. When I went for my initial consultation I was a wreck, on the verge of tears at the slightest suggestion I discuss my problems. Within a few sessions I could feel the change in my life, the surge in positivity was obvious and I found myself smiling when I was asked to rate how happy I was. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Marina!" - 5* Google review by Chris
"I went to see Marina as I wanted to make some changes and felt a bit stuck in some habits and behaviours I’d fallen into over time. She made me feel really at ease from the start, and the way she explains how the brain works just made so much sense to me. I feet more in control quite quickly. I’ve made the changes I wanted to, but more than that I feel calmer, clearer in myself and more positive day to day. I’m really grateful for the support and would happily recommend Marina." - 5* Google review by Danny
"I have been doing hypnotherapy sessions with Marina and it helped me a lot to gain confidence and increase positiveness in various issues in my life. Marina was very supportive and helpful throughout the whole process to make me understand how it works and what is needed from my side. It was a very transformative journey which made me focus more on how I can change different things in my life with solutions based approach and make small steps every time with impact." - 5* Google review by Kanella
“I’d been curious about hypnotherapy but didn’t know where to start. Working with Marina has been transformational - my approach to life and how I handle stress have completely changed. I’m a happier, more grounded version of myself. I couldn’t recommend it more!” - 5* Google review by Alex
"I’d tried different types of therapy in the past, but nothing really worked, until I tried hypnotherapy with Marina. She made me feel completely at ease from the start, and for the first time, I was able to process past trauma in a way that made sense. Her clear visual explanations of how the brain works really helped me connect my thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I’ve learned coping strategies that genuinely work for me, and I now feel more positive, confident and in control of my future. I highly recommend Marina to anyone struggling with anxiety or past trauma." - 5* Google review by Joanne
