About me:
From a young age, I have felt a deep connection to nature and an innate compassion for all living beings—a quality often described as sensitivity. This sensitivity became my guiding light, leading me to dedicate over 30 years to supportive roles with individuals facing complex challenges. My passion for mental health naturally drew me to specialise in this field and pursue relevant qualifications.
Life’s challenges have been some of my greatest teachers, shaping my ability to work holistically with others. For much of my journey, I believed in a deeper purpose to life but experienced periods of disconnection. It was in those periods that confusion and imbalance emerged—a feeling many of us can relate to.
Meditation became my turning point. By reconnecting within, I discovered tools to navigate challenges that had long felt insurmountable. As I transformed inwardly, my outer world began to shift as well. Change is rarely easy, and it often brings uncertainty, but it is through transformation that new opportunities and growth become possible. Even now, I believe we are all beautifully "a work in progress."
Inspired by this journey, I pursued training in complementary therapies and psychotherapeutic counselling. Today, I am a member of both the UKCP and BACP and adhere to their rigorous ethical framework.
The name Inspire Self Healing reflects my belief in the power of inner transformation. Following my own journey in 'self-healing' and being 'inspired' by other professionals and teachers that had supported me. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you navigate your unique path to healing and self-discovery.

Marie
