WELCOME TO FLOURISHING
A place to come back to yourself.
Sometimes life asks more of us than we expected.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, disconnected or simply know that something needs to change, you don't have to work it all out alone.
I'm Margie Burns, a Counselling Psychotherapist, Certified Master Hypnotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.
I work with people who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, make meaningful changes and move towards a life that feels more like their own.

The person behind Flourishing
Hello, I'm Margie.
I believe meaningful change begins when we feel seen, understood and safe enough to explore what really matters.
Throughout my career, I've worked with people from many different backgrounds and in many different settings, supporting them through change, development and the challenges life can bring.
Over time, my work increasingly drew me towards the deeper human side of what we experience — how we cope, connect, change and grow.
Today, as a Counselling Psychotherapist, Certified Master Hypnotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I bring those experiences together through Flourishing.
I don't believe there is one formula for being well. There is you — and that is where our work begins.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Sometimes finding your way forward begins with having somewhere safe to stop.
My approach is warm, person-centred and integrative, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet you where you are. Together, we explore what may be standing between you and greater peace, connection and wellbeing — at a pace that feels right for you.
Hypnotherapy
Sometimes you know what you want to change, but something deeper keeps holding you back.
Hypnotherapy can help you work with the patterns, beliefs and responses that sit beneath conscious awareness, creating space for meaningful and lasting change.
My approach is gentle, collaborative and tailored to you, helping you work with your mind rather than against it.
Flourishing Experiences
Time to pause.
Reconnect.
Experience something different.
Not everything that helps us flourish happens in a therapy room. Sometimes we need space to step away from the everyday — to learn, create, reconnect, reflect or simply experience something different.

Let's Talk
The first step in therapy is talking. Let's find a time where we can meet and talk about what's on your mind.
