Hypnotherapy in Aylesbury Vale

About Marina Love

From the outside, everything looks fine.  You’re capable, the one people rely on, used to getting things done.  But inside, the racing thoughts won’t let up and there’s a nagging feeling that you should be handling this better than you are.

I’d get through the week telling myself the weekend would fix it.  I’d rest, reset and come back Monday properly ‘on it’.  But when the weekend came, everything felt like too much effort, because part of me was already bracing for Monday.  Plans I’d been looking forward to suddenly felt overwhelming, and part of me hoped they’d get cancelled.  Staying in didn’t help either, I was too on edge to relax.  Then Monday came around and the whole cycle started again.

I stumbled across Solution Focused Hypnotherapy almost by accident.  It’s not exactly the first thing you think of for a mind that won’t quiet down, but it worked, and quickly.  I finally understood why I felt the way I did, and for the first time in ages I felt like me again, so I trained to help others do the same.

I practise online and in person, based in Aylesbury, working with capable, thoughtful people whose thinking has changed because life started feeling heavier than it should.  When I’m not working, I enjoy walking in the Chilterns or catching a show at the theatre.

Curious to see if it could work for you too?

My Experience

For 20 years, I worked in start-ups and scale-ups, directly with owners and founders.  I’ve experienced the pace and pressure of building a business, and know what it demands of the people running it.

Most people don’t come to me the moment things start feeling harder.  It’s gradual. You cope, adapt, sometimes assuming the worst before you’ve even tried, and tell yourself you’ll have more headspace and feel better when things calm down.  But you don’t, do you?  Eventually you realise it’s not going away on its own, and if anything, it’s getting harder to shake.

‘Push through.’ ‘Crack on.’ It’s the language we hear everywhere, at work and in the way we talk to ourselves.  But there’s a real difference between pushing through and keeping going.  They can look exactly the same from the outside, but pushing through is forcing yourself to carry on even when you know something needs to change.  Keeping going means paying attention to what’s working and being willing to change what’s not.

The work we do together is about noticing what’s working, even something small, and giving your brain more of that to work with, so you can think clearly, lead, and have the capacity for the things that matter to you, at work and outside it.

‘I’d been curious about hypnotherapy but didn’t know where to start.  Working with Marina has been transformational, my approach to life and how I handle stress have completely changed.  I’m a happier, more grounded version of myself.  I couldn’t recommend it more!’ – Alex

More About Me

I love making things with my hands, pottery and jewellery especially, and my two very pampered cats bring me a lot of joy.  But when life got heavy the making quietly got pushed down the list, not because I wanted to stop, but because there was nothing left in the tank for it.  I’ve since come back to it, and I notice the difference.

Helping someone reconnect with themselves, and the things that make them feel like them, is one of the best parts of this work.
