Counselling

At Flourishing, our counsellors are trained professionals who provide compassionate, non-judgemental support. They are skilled in various therapeutic approaches and work collaboratively with you to tailor the therapy to your specific needs. The counsellor’s role is to facilitate your self-exploration, help you understand the root causes of your issues, and guide you in developing effective coping strategies.

Our counsellors create a growth-promoting environment characterised by three core attributes:

• Congruence (Genuineness): The counsellor is open, honest, and transparent with you, creating a trusting and authentic therapeutic relationship.
• Unconditional Positive Regard: The counsellor offers complete acceptance and support, regardless of what you share, ensuring you feel valued and respected.
• Empathic Understanding: The counsellor deeply understands your experiences from your perspective, which fosters a sense of connection and validation.

Unlock Personal Growth

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling is a one-on-one therapy session focused entirely on your needs and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or any other personal challenge, individual counselling provides a private and supportive environment to explore these issues. Our counsellors work with you to identify the underlying causes of your distress and develop strategies to overcome them.

Find Healing

Grief and Bereavement Counselling

Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences in life. Grief and bereavement counselling offers support as you navigate the complex emotions associated with loss. Whether your loss is recent or occurred some time ago, our therapists are here to help you process your grief, find meaning in your experience, and begin to move forward

Emotional Support

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can express your feelings without fear of judgement. This emotional support is crucial for those dealing with difficult emotions like sadness, anger, or confusion.

Insight and Understanding

Through counselling, you gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. This insight can help you identify patterns that may be contributing to your difficulties and allow you to make more informed decisions.

Coping Strategies

Counselling equips you with practical tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges. These coping mechanisms can improve your ability to handle life’s ups and downs more effectively.

Improved Relationships

Whether it’s through individual, couples, or family therapy, counselling can enhance your relationships by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering deeper connections with others.

Personal Growth

Counselling is not just about addressing problems; it’s also about personal growth. Therapy can help you build self-esteem, develop a stronger sense of identity, and pursue your goals with greater confidence.

Healing from Trauma

For those who have experienced trauma, counselling offers a path to healing. By working through traumatic memories in a supportive environment, you can reduce their emotional impact and reclaim your sense of safety and wellbeing.

The Creative Process

Our first session will involve an initial consultation where you and your therapist will discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, your goals, and any concerns you may have.

Sessions Tailored to Your Needs

We take your privacy seriously. Everything discussed in your sessions remains confidential, ensuring that you can speak freely about your thoughts and feelings.

The Therapeutic Environment

Each session is tailored to address your specific needs. We will use techniques and approaches that are most relevant to your situation, ensuring that your therapy is effective and meaningful.

Interpreting Your Art

Our therapy rooms are designed to be comfortable and welcoming, providing a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement.

Success Stories: Real-Life Transformations

At Flourishing, we’ve helped countless clients achieve remarkable transformations through hypnotherapy. From overcoming lifelong fears to achieving career success, our clients’ stories are a testament to the power of hypnotherapy. Here are a few of their stories:

Margie helped me out a lot when I felt stuck in life, very kind, caring and easy to open up to. Would highly recommend her.

As this was my first every therapy experience, I was very nervous going to my first session, but from the minute I walked in to Margie’s office 9 months ago to now she has always provided me with a deep sense of understanding, compassion and positivity. Her calming presence has allowed me to open up in ways I have never before and inspires me to lead with the same aura. Working with Margie through talk and hypnotherapy has massively helped me to understand my emotions and taught me how to get a better handle on them by myself. I can’t recommend this lovely woman enough to anyone who is struggling in any sense of the word!

When I met Margie I was a very different person to who I am now. This is down to Margie’s caring nature, guidance and help she has given me while working with her. I was in a dark place when I met Margie and to be honest I wasn’t sure about how counselling and I would fit together. I can honestly say it’s the best decision I ever made in my life. Margie was a huge factor in this from the moment I met her she made me feel at ease with her and from that I began the journey. With her help I have become a better person and I am so proud to say I’ve come through the other side. Thank you Margie.

This therapy was very relaxing and very helpful for me, Marge is a great listener and really supportive throughout, I highly recommend Marge!

From the moment I walked through Margies door I instantly felt at ease. A woman with huge knowledge and experience in therapy, I would definitely recommend. Changed my life.

I've been going to this woman for a few months now and she has honestly changed my life. I struggled all my whole life with my issues and she has been incredible. I would highly recommend anyone to go see her if needed.

Would recommend this woman to anyone and I will if anyone needs it, helped me so so much and I couldn't be more grateful to her, she's a kind well spoken woman I really enjoyed my sessions with her, I'll be sure to go back if I ever need to!! Thank you.

I can honestly say I had a wonderful experience with Margie burns, in only a few sessions Margie helped me deal with past issues and nervousness for becoming a first time mother , I would not be as confident as I am today without her.

Just finished a run of sessions and really feel better in myself. Thinking about speaking about what troubles you have can feel uncomfortable and daunting, but it isn't at all like that here. You are made feel so comfortable and safe that you will struggle to stop talking. You will physically feel different when you leave after unburdening yourself. It definitely helped me i can only say thank you.

Highly recommend flourishing therapy, a very relaxing, comfortable environment and I was very much at ease

Brilliant service, I would highly recommend.

Margie is the ultimate professional with so much expertise that she can advise and talk through many issues and situations. I really enjoy my sessions with Margie and come out of her room feeling positive, enlightened, and totally relaxed. The hypnotherapy with Margie is pure bliss and helps me achieve my goal of having a calmer mind. Thanks Margie!

I have had 4 sessions with Margie so far. From.my first session she has been so welcoming and so professional. She is so easy to talk to, a great open ear and just a breath of fresh air. I could not recommend her enough.

Margie has been very kind and helpful with helping me through my personal life issues. She's very caring & down to earth. I would highly recommend her

Very helpful and great at making you feel safe...helped me massively.

Attending sessions with Margie was a life-changing and invaluable experience. She is very understanding and adapts so well to each and everyone offering different approaches or therapies that can help you understand how you are feeling, and who you are as a person. She was able to see my perspective and adjust her approach accordingly, for example approaching things from a creative angle so I could better understand. She gave me skills to analyse my thoughts and myself so I can better manage things myself in the future. I always recommend her whenever I hear of anyone in need of someone professional to talk to as she really helped me in a time of confusion and stress, and hosted the sessions in such a calming, serene environment. Thank you Margie! 

Margie is an extremely welcoming calming woman who listens attentively to anything you have on your mind. Originally, I sought help for counselling however, Margie explained the process of hypnotherapy to me and how it may help me. I felt very positive after the first session. The few hypnotherapy sessions that I have had have been an alluring experience and done online from home. .Although not emotionally pleasing and somewhat challenging for me at times, I have felt remarkably relaxed afterwards and less vulnerable in certain situations that I was really struggling with in my life. While this was my first time seeking help for issues I was experiencing I never considered hypnotherapy. From my experience with Margie I can say that it is a very inspiring and impressive method of therapy that can truly enhance your quality of life. I would recommend this lovely lady to anyone experiencing struggles in their life and finding it hard to cope. I look forward to more sessions and feel very positive about my progress so far and how this therapy will benefit me in the future
