Marie worked in venture capital and international management consulting in the 90's . Later on in life she realised that her strengths and interests lay in helping others to develop themselves both personally and professionally. 

With this objective in mind she built on her initial training as a Chartered Psychologist qualifying as both a Psychotherapist and a Clinical Hypnotherapist. For the past 10 years Marie has also worked as an Executive Coach both in the UK and abroad and at the same time established her private psychological consultancy practice based in Liverpool. Marie's approach is a rare combination of professional skill and expertise, commercial experience and pragmatic understanding. 

Marie is guided by quality research evidence and incorporates those techniques that are widely recognised as the most effective in achieving lasting personal change, including:

• Positive Psychology - the science of building positive thoughts, feelings and strengths to create meaning and happiness in life.
• Hypnotherapy – the use of Hypnosis to harness inner creativity and subconscious change.
• Psychotherapy - increases emotional wellbeing and personal development.
• Neuro Linguistic Programming - described as the 'science of success' by helping to create change through understanding language, belief systems and cognitive processing.
• Brief Strategic Therapy - a highly strategic solution based approach, concerned with how current factors sustain a problem and prevent change.
• Mindfulness – a way of focusing attention and especially helpful for treating emotional conditions
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) including Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy - effective for treating and resolving emotional and behavioural issues.
• Counselling - trained in counselling skills over twelve years ago with Professor David Fontana 

Marie works with clients over a number of sessions and this will vary depending on their situation and issue. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to give Marie a call, otherwise email marie@marieburns.co.uk
