Marie Seary

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Clinical Hypnotherapist (UKCP Registered)

Do you feel stuck in patterns you can't quite explain- even when you understand them logically?

Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying stress and tension in your body.

I offer a calm, supportive space where we can gently explore what's going on beneath the surface — at a pace that feels right for you.

With over 30 years' experience working with people, my approach goes beyond talking alone. I work with an integrative approach; bringing together psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and body-based awareness to support deeper, lasting change.

Many of my clients come to me feeling that something still feels unresolved, even after previous therapy. This is often because our experiences are not only held in the mind, but also within the nervous system and body.

In our sessions, we pay attention to both your thoughts and your felt experience — helping you develop greater awareness, safety, and choice.

I also support clients to explore different "parts" of themselves — for example, the part that wants change and the part that holds back. Working with these inner dynamics can lead to powerful shifts in how you relate to yourself and others.

I can support you with:

Anxiety, stress and burnout

Low self-worth or lack of confidence

People-pleasing and difficulty expressing needs

Relationship patterns and emotional overwhelm

Trauma and unresolved life experiences

Feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure of direction

My approach may include:

Integrative psychotherapeutic counselling

Clinical hypnotherapy

Parts work (inner dialogue)

Somatic awareness (mind-body connection)

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & Matrix Re-imprinting

My aim is to support you not just to cope, but to feel more at ease, more connected to yourself, and more able to make choices that truly reflect who you are.

I offer a free initial consultation, giving you space to ask questions and see if we feel like the right fit.

I work in a collaborative and relational way, which means we work together to understand your experience, rather than me taking an expert role over you.

Sessions are led by what feels most important for you, while I gently support you to notice patterns, emotions, and responses that may be outside of your usual awareness.

I place importance on creating a space where you feel safe, not judged, and able to be yourself — including the parts of you that may feel uncertain, conflicted, or difficult to express. I pay attention not only to what is said, but also to what may be harder to access or put into words.

At times, we may slow things down to help you tune into what you are experiencing in the moment, allowing for deeper awareness and integration. At other times, we may reflect, explore meaning, or consider new perspectives.

There is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to. We work at your pace, with respect for your boundaries and your own inner process.

Over time, this can support a greater sense of clarity, self-trust, and the ability to respond differently in situations that previously felt automatic or overwhelming.
