Hypnotherapy In Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire

About Marina Love

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Struggling with self-belief or racing thoughts that keep you up at night? You’re not alone – and I know exactly how that feels. Originally from Scotland, I moved to London at just 17, a move that helped build my confidence and resilience. But as life unfolded, I gradually lost touch with those inner strengths.

For years, I worked in fast-paced marketing roles in the health food industry. While the work was exciting and rewarding, it eventually took a toll. I felt like an imposter. Perfectionism, procrastination, and an overactive inner critic slowly chipped away at my confidence. I felt disconnected, exhausted – I didn’t feel like ‘me’.

That’s when I knew something had to change.

Everything shifted when I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Finally, I found a way to quiet the noise, ease anxiety, and believe in myself again. The experience was so transformative, I retrained to help others find their way forward.

Now I practise solution-focused hypnotherapy in Aylesbury Vale and online, supporting those who want to cope better with life, even if they’re not sure where to start. If that sounds like you, I want you to know: change isn’t just possible – it’s closer than you think.

Curious to know if hypnotherapy could work for you?

My Experience

With 20 years working in health and wellness, I offer both personal insight and professional training. I understand how life can feel heavy, especially when you’re the one trying to hold it all together.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and focused on where you want to go – not where you’ve been. We won’t relive painful memories. Instead, we’ll work together to ease the overwhelm that’s been holding you back so you can feel present, with a clear mind, grow in confidence, and feel more hopeful about your future.

I offer a supportive therapy space either in person from my hypnotherapy practice in Aylesbury Vale or online, whichever fits your life best.

Many clients describe our sessions as deeply relaxing and empowering, often noticing shifts even after just a few sessions.

“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

Maryanne Slade

In just a few weeks working with Marina, I’ve noticed a real shift in how I respond to things, especially at home. I feel so much calmer and more in control of my thoughts and emotions. Instead of reacting with frustration I’ve found myself handling things more rationally and even laughing off situations that would have really upset me before.The positive impact has been felt throughout the household. There’s a really happy atmosphere and I’ve loved noticing how many more laughs and hugs there are now. I’m also better able to manage day-to-day stress without feeling overwhelmed. I can’t thank Marina enough – highly recommended.

I have been doing hypnotherapy sessions with Marina for some months now and it helped me to gain a lot confidence and increase positiveness in various issues in my life.Marina was very supportive and helpful throughout the whole process to make me understand how it works and what is needed from my side. It was a very transformative journey which made me focus more on how I can change different things in my life with solutions based approach and make small steps every time with impact.

Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your positive experience, I'm really pleased that the sessions have helped you build confidence and develop a more positive approach to things. Your trust in the process made such a difference, and I'm glad you found the solution-based approach helpful. It's great that you took those small steps forward with real impact. It's been lovely working with you, and you're now equipped to keep positively moving forward.

Joanne Smith

I’d tried different types of therapy in the past, but nothing really worked—until I tried hypnotherapy with Marina. She made me feel completely at ease from the start, and for the first time, I was able to process past trauma in a way that made sense. Her clear visual explanations of how the brain works really helped me connect my thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I’ve learned coping strategies that genuinely work for me, and I now feel more positive, confident and in control of my future. I highly recommend Marina to anyone struggling with anxiety or past trauma.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Joanne, I'm so pleased that hypnotherapy was able to help you in a way that other approaches hadn't, and that you felt comfortable throughout the process.It's wonderful to hear that the visual explanations helped you make those important connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Most importantly, I'm delighted that you're feeling more positive, confident and in control.It's been a genuine privilege working with you, and the positive changes you've created will stay with you in the future.

Melanie Lazarus

I worked with Marina earlier this year at a crossroads in my professional life. She helped me to understand how my brain works, to rewire my thinking, to take positive action, to acknowledge my wins daily, and to reduce my stress levels through repetitive mantras. These are skills I can (and have!) taken forward in my life. I secured a new role during the time working with Marina - my positive 'can do' mindset can only have helped! Thanks Marina for everything.

Response from the owner: Hi Mel, thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s really rewarding to hear how, by understanding your brain and rewiring your thinking, you were able to take positive steps and celebrate your wins every day. I’m so happy these skills are something you’ve carried with you — and once again, huge congratulations on your new role! Your positive ‘can do’ mindset definitely shines through. It was a pleasure working with you.

Kristen Hartley

Found my sessions with Marina very useful. She started the process helping me understand the science of how hypnotherapy worked, before leading me through very relaxing sessions. Incredibly professional throughout. Would recommend.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Kristen, for sharing how helpful you found the sessions and for valuing the way we began by exploring the science behind how our brains actually work. It’s truly fascinating how understanding this can help us feel more relaxed and empowered about how change can happen—and quickly. It was great working with you, and I know these tools will keep giving you strength and confidence as you move forward.

Lauren Roberts

I've been having Hypnotherapy sessions with Marina for a few months now and the difference it's made has been incredible. I have seen a real shift in my attitude and approach to things that beforehand seemed really hard. Marina is really skilled at holding a safe space and I find her voice when we do the relaxation part very soothing. I would highly recommend working with Marina to help you with more confidence and a positive approach to issues in your life. Thank you Marina!

Sarah Andrews

Marina has such a lovely calm approach. The techniques she uses are so relaxing. I fell asleep every time and I still listen to her lovely voice now when I cannot relax/sleep. Thank you Marina for giving me an extra string to my bow! I feel so much calmer

Response from the owner: Thanks, Sarah, for your kind words about my calm approach and the relaxation techniques. It’s wonderful to hear you felt so comfortable during our sessions that you could completely relax—and that you still find the guided relaxation recordings helpful for drifting off to sleep now. I really enjoyed working with you and I know these tools will continue to help you feel calmer every day.

Alex Arens

Working with Marina was a game changer. I had thought of trying hypnotherapy before and am so glad I did. It has been transformative and she is amazing.

I’m glad you decided to give it a go and that it’s made such a big difference to how you feel. I enjoyed working with you and I'm confident these changes will stay with you and will continue to strengthen day by day.

More About Me

I love unwinding with walks through the Chilterns and in the fields around Aylesbury. I enjoy making silver jewellery, practicing yoga and going to the theatre. I’m a big animal lover too – our koi pond and three very pampered cats bring me so much joy.

Mental wellbeing isn’t just what I do, it’s something I’ve had to prioritise in my own life. I’ve learned what it takes to move from just getting by to building inner strength and how small, consistent steps can unlock powerful change that ripples through your relationships, career, and everyday life.

If you’re curious, wondering if this might help, or have questions, that’s often the first step. Drop me a message, and we can talk through how I can support you.
