Welcome to Marie Willis Therapy
Hypno-CBT®
Helping you to bring about positive
change in your life.
Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed?
​
It is likely that if you are reading this, you are searching for ways to bring about positive change.
​
It might be that you are struggling with stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or a nagging feeling that you don’t seem to be able to move forward in a certain area of your life. It might be that you want to find greater confidence for professional situations such as public speaking or work performance. Maybe there is something that you have always wanted to do in your life but fear holds you back.
​
Do you feel the time has come to make changes?​
​
The good news is that positive change is not only possible but far more attainable than we think. The process of change can be an exciting time of personal discovery, growth and fresh new possibilities. You can discover new ways forward. Things can change for the better and you can learn to thrive.
​
How I can help you.
​
My aim is to help you to discover and develop the skills, tools and techniques which will enable you to bring about the positive change you wish to see. Working together, in a confidential and nurturing manner, you will explore what is currently keeping you ’stuck’ and discover how you might start to do things differently. You will develop an awareness of what is maintaining your problem and understand the close correlation between your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. You can then begin to gently explore how to make the changes in how you think and behave which will allow you to find ways to better serve your needs.
​
From surviving to thriving.
As you gain in self-understanding and motivation, you will find yourself becoming increasingly more at ease, more flexible in your thinking and behaviours and more able to notice and respond to the possibilities and opportunities around you. The skills you learn are then with you for life, to help you in other challenging situations. In essence, you learn to become your own therapist.
​
Even though your issues may at present seem difficult or even insurmountable, it doesn’t have to be this way.
My message to you is that change is indeed possible and I can help you to make it.

My Approach
​
I use a holistic therapeutic integration of Evidence-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness (Hypno-CBT®).
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy are both very effective therapeutic approaches for a range of issues. However, research shows that when they are combined, they provide an even more powerful means of bringing about change.
​
Hypno-CBT® is approved by the British Psychological Society.
I work alongside you in a collaborative manner, centred around your needs, at your pace and in alignment with your own personal values, and goals. You will find an environment of warmth, compassion and empathy; a safe place of trust, where you will feel heard and understood without judgement. A place where you can also enjoy the process of change as you move forward.
