I wasn't sure what to expect but I could not have imagined how well it worked for me. I highly recommend Flourishing. Margie is so nice and puts you at such ease and completely understood what I wanted to get from hypnotherapy. Life-changing. My anxiety attacks have decreased, and I now have the tools to manage them when they arise.

I cannot recommend Margie enough. She is literally the definition of 10/10. From the moment I rang her I connected with her. Her voice was soothing & calming, I knew I was going to be able to work with her. When I met her in person I felt so safe, warm, relaxed & at home. She is an amazing counsellor & you feel in a bubble of love while there & leaving.

I had hypnotherapy with Margie and a better practitioner I don't think I could have found. Her aura from the moment we met put me at ease. The environment was so cozy & relaxing with those little touches that helped & invited you to feel safe and secure. You couldn't help but immediately start to participate in the treatment. Margie is excellent at what she does and I already feel the benefits. I looked forward to going to her. She has a kind, caring & non-judgemental attitude & I opened up to her more than I have ever opened up to anyone. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to change their mindset and I can't thank her enough for the help, support and kindness. Her prices are excellent too compared to others & really affordable, but don't be fooled as the price does not reflect the excellent work she does. It just means it's more accessible to the normal person. She is there to help and that shows in every session. Thank you for everything Margie. I will be recommending you to everyone!

Margie is such a kind, caring, and thoughtful person. I went to her because I had a massive fear of driving to the point where I felt like if the driving hypnosis didn't help, I would honestly give up trying to drive! However, even after the first session, I felt so much more relaxed and confident when it came to driving, and my confidence only grew more and more after each session. Not only that, Margie made me feel more confident as a person and very much happier in myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great hypnosis experience. I don't have a date for my driving test just yet, but I know I will definitely be going back to her for one session before I do the test because the hypnosis really makes me feel incredibly calm and confident. I have already recommended her to friends and would highly recommend her to anyone reading this review. Amazing!

I absolutely love my therapy sessions with Marge, she is very understanding and incredibly kind. She has an amazing ability to make her clients feel comfortable, relaxed and absolutely reassured that we can handle any situation life may throw at us . Her hypnotherapy sessions lull you into a beautiful place of relaxation where you can bring about real change. I always leave each session with a new sense of inner wisdom and confidence. I highly recommend her.

Margie is by far the most helpful, kind, understanding therapist I have ever worked with. I never felt judged and I always felt supported. Margie doesn't just advise and give guidance, she genuinely cares. Her in-depth knowledge of DBT and her hypnotherapy credentials, also make her even more able to support in even the most difficult of circumstances. Highly recommend this wonderful lady!

Mariana - Psychotherapy

I reached out to Margie earlier this year when I needed guidance and direction with my life. Margie made me feel so relaxed and was so understanding the moment we met. Very professional but also a friend-like presence at the same time. Very easy to talk to. Through my many session with Margie I am happy to say I am a completely different person today to the person I was 5 months ago, and I have Margie to thank for that. I cannot recommend Margie enough.

David - Psychotherapy

For years, I battled with anxiety, finding myself often overwhelmed by its constant presence in my life. The weight of it felt heavy and relentless, making even the simplest tasks seem daunting. However, after only a handful of hypnotherapy sessions, I discovered a newfound control over my emotions that I had never experienced before. Anxiety and insomnia had dominated my life, robbing me of the joy I once felt, but hypnotherapy has truly guided me toward a profound sense of calm and peace. My anxiety attacks have diminished significantly, allowing me to navigate my days with a refreshed outlook, and I’ve gained invaluable strategies to cope effectively when they do occur.

Sarah - Hypnotherapy

I worked with Margie and she kindly took me on as a client on short notice. From the minute I spoke to Margie on an initial call and then meeting in person at her home, I knew I was going to benefit from her help.The way she works is quite unique and we got along so well, which probably helped with my own mental state overall. She understands everything that is going on and immediately puts you at ease from day one. The amount of sessions is different for everyone however I felt myself drawn to do more with her just because of the benefits. I cannot thank her enough for the quality of life I have gotten back and will be booking again soon for follow up wellbeing. Thanks Margie, you deserve all the business going forward.

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.

Kayla - Counselling

I met Margie at a particular low point in my life. I had just suffered the sudden loss of my wife of 20 years and Margie came highly recommended to me. From the beginning I experienced empathy, understanding and a safe environment to speak about my thoughts and feelings. The sessions never felt timed or rushed and I always felt that I had someone in my corner who understood what I was dealing with even thought I had no idea myself. Over time Margie helped me develop mechanisms to enable me to cope with low points and because of her support I’ve now come out the other side a much stronger person and I am very grateful that I was introduced to her.

Richard - Grief Counselling

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!

Stefanie - Counselling

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.

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.

Javine Connell - Counselling

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'.

Donal - Counselling

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! 

Orla - Counselling

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.

Anonymous - Counselling & Hypnosis 

A row of black stars on a white background.

I had a great experience working with flourishing. I went feeling really low in myself with no motivation and lots of little almost anxieties when it came to things. I feel so much better now within myself and felt the hypnosis was a very useful tool in putting more positive thoughts into my subconscious mind. Even when learning to drive I was incredibly anxious and weary and then after a session speaking about it and then with the hypnosis I was all of a sudden so much more confident behind the wheel and even shortly after that passed my test first time. I think without the counselling I wouldn’t of had the confidence to do so.

Anna - Hypnotherapy & Counselling

I had several hypnosis sessions with Margie during my pregnancy to ease my anxiety and it has changed everything.  I am now a lot more prepared, confident & ready for my birth & becoming a parent. My thoughts have changed from negative thinking to positive. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.
