ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Marianne
award winning Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist in Bristol (and Online)
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful patterns, you’re not alone.
I support people who want to feel calmer, clearer, and more like themselves again - whether that’s through solution-focused hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, somatic movement, or therapeutic yoga.
​
I work with clients across Bristol and online, so you can choose whatever feels most comfortable.
"I can honestly say without her guidance, patience and understanding I don't believe I would be here. I can't thank Marianne enough for everything she's done for me, truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

A bit about me
Whilst I live here in Bristol, I'm originally from Scotland; I have two young kids, who are my biggest teachers, and understand the joys and challenges that that can bring!
A self-confessed neuroscience nerd, I’m endlessly fascinated with how the brain works and particularly how we can change our unwanted thoughts or behaviours to live a better, more fulfilled and easeful life. ​
​
I strive to hold a safe, friendly, relaxed and professional space for you to be valued, to be heard and fully supported on this positive therapeutic journey. Sometimes I invite humour, where appropriate, humour can be so helpful sometimes.
​
​​Clients (and friends) describe me as open, friendly, warm and empathetic; I have a great deal of respect for the work I do and the evidence-based approach of these therapeutic approaches.

MY APPROACH
Solution-focused hypnotherapy looks at where you want to go, rather than pulling you back into places you’ve already been. It’s gentle, forward-looking, and often quicker than people expect.
​
In our sessions, we work together to:
Clarify how you want to feel
Strengthen resilience and adaptability
Build new patterns that support the life you want
Reduce stress and calm the nervous system
Create changes that feel natural and sustainable
Kind words
DAISY
“Marianne was brilliant. She was so warm and focused and she listened to what I needed and tailored the hypnosis exactly. Having since been exposed to the situation which used to lead to high stress and anxiety, I now find I manage it calmly and easily! I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
JONNY
“I started seeing Marianne at a pivotal moment in my life, and I'm glad I did! I found the sessions with her really useful. I feel more joyful, content and confident in the choices I make now.”
STEPHANIE
The guided hypnosis recordings and techniques have been invaluable tools to takeaway that have immediately translated as support in other areas of my life.”
