The person behind Flourishing
Hello, I'm Margie.
My career has always been about people.
Throughout my career, I've worked with people from many different backgrounds and in many different settings, supporting them through change, development and the challenges life can bring.
Over time, my work increasingly drew me towards the deeper human side of what we experience — how we cope, connect, change and grow.
Today, as a Counselling Psychotherapist, Certified Master Hypnotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I bring those experiences together through Flourishing.
I don't believe there is one formula for being well. There is you — and that is where our work begins.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Sometimes finding your way forward begins with having somewhere safe to stop.
My approach is warm, person-centred and integrative, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet you where you are. Together, we explore what may be standing between you and greater peace, connection and wellbeing — at a pace that feels right for you.
Hypnotherapy
Sometimes you know what you want to change, but something deeper keeps holding you back.
Hypnotherapy can help you work with the patterns, beliefs and responses that sit beneath conscious awareness, creating space for meaningful and lasting change.
My approach is gentle, collaborative and tailored to you, helping you work with your mind rather than against it.

Psychometrics & Psychological Assessments
"Whether you are an individual looking to understand your unique cognitive strengths, or an organization seeking to optimize your talent strategy, I provide robust, scientifically validated psychological assessments that deliver deep, objective clarity.
For Individuals: I offer a warm, supportive space to explore psychometric profiling, helping you identify your natural leadership style, emotional intelligence, or career alignment to unlock your next professional chapter.
For HR Leaders & Businesses: Backed by years of experience designing specialized psychological tools and directing large-scale corporate selection projects, I deliver defensible, data-backed insights. From executive benchmarking to high-volume recruitment frameworks, I partner with your organization to make highly informed, confident talent decisions."
Health Coaching
Choose your focus areas and receive guidance, treatment options, and a framework for success. We help you manage weight, eating, exercise, sleep, stress, and more. Our programs are evidence-based and designed for long-term success.
Creative Therapy - MARI
"Healing doesn't always require talking. As a trained practitioner in MARI Creative Therapy, I offer you a powerful, non-verbal bridge to your innermost thoughts and feelings. By drawing mandalas and exploring canonical symbols and colors, we bypass the noise of the logical mind to access the deep-seated wisdom of your unconscious psyche. This specialized assessment is exceptionally gentle and effective if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unable to put your experiences into words. I walk alongside you through this enlightening process, helping you safely translate your visual creations into meaningful, life-changing self-awareness."
Dialectical Behavioural Informed Therapy (DBT)
"Living with intense, unpredictable emotions can feel entirely overwhelming. I offer a specialized,
DBT-Informed approach deeply rooted in my extensive independent study and years of hands-on experience supporting individuals through the complexities of
Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) and
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), alongside foundation training with the British Isles DBT Company. I walk alongside you to build essential, practical life skills—including mindfulness, distress tolerance, and relationship strategies. Because this intensive, workbook-supported work requires deep commitment,
spaces are strictly limited and may require a dedication of two sessions per week to ensure you receive the robust, consistent support necessary to build lasting emotional resilience."
