One to One Sessions

If you're like many of the people I help, it's likely that on the surface you have a good lifestyle. But when it comes to people and relationships you can sometimes lack confidence and second-guess yourself. You hear the words 'people-pleasing,' and you think, "Yes that's me!".

It shows up as:

Going along with what other people think and want so you don't get left out.
Saying “yes” when you'd rather say “no”, because you don't want to seem unhelpful or uncaring.
Replaying conversations; wondering if you said the wrong thing and how you came across.
Giving so much of yourself in time, energy, or money that your own needs get lost in the ether.
Not saying anything about hurtful comments or disrespectful behaviour because you just want to keep the peace.
Always being the one who gives, even though you end up being taken for granted.

If any of this seems familiar, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me because they’ve recognised they’re stuck in these same people-pleasing patterns. They want to learn how to become more confident and true to themselves in their relationships, while still being the kind and caring person they've always been.

If you’re ready to make this shift in your life too, I can help.

In our 1:1 sessions, we’ll work together to help you shift these patterns so that you can have relationships that feel equal, where you’re heard, seen, and valued.

Making real change is like crossing a bridge.

Making real change is like crossing a bridge from the old version of your life, to reach the new version.

Once you cross that bridge you’ll never go back to the struggles you once had because you've become a different person; one who handles life in a more empowered way!

Here's what will happen in our sessions:

We’ll start by helping you gain clarity on what you really want from life, and identify the blocks that have been getting in your way.

Then we’ll set some goals to help you let go of those blocks so that you can begin to create the life and relationships you want to have.

I’ll teach you psychosenory techniques so you can feel fully confident managing your emotions during therapy and beyond.

Next we’ll look at actionable steps you can take to bring your insight in sessions into your everyday relationships.

I’ll teach you proven skills and techniques, to help you set boundaries that workand confidently communicate with others so that you're heard and respected,

We'll go at your own pace, applying what you learn in sessions to your own personal circumstances and goals so that you can see your progress as we go along.

My life has improved so much from our work together . I'm continually amazed the way people respond to me now. They respect me.

Marléne helps you think about things in a totally different way and offers you the tools to resolve your issues and move forward to a happier life. Her books are amazingly helpful too. Full of practical advice and really inspirational.

Marléne has changed my life. A brilliant mixture of professionalism and empathy, I felt comfortable talking and discussing issues with Marléne and can not thank her enough for what she’s done for me.

My life is completely different!

Here's what clients say:

I've let go of always worrying about what other people think of me.
When someone asks me to give up my time and energy, I can set limits and say 'no' with confidence, and without feeling guilty.
I can stand by my choices and I notice that people priortise me much more now.
I speak up and say whats on my mind without feeling so fearful and people hear me and respect me more.
I've finally let go of that feeling of being so responsible for everyone else!
If someone upsets me, I feel much more able to calmly let them know and talk it through.
I'm meeting new people who respect and value me.
I'm not making my own happiness so dependent on what other people say or do

"You'll be living a life that belongs to you, instead of living through the lens of others people's opinions and expectations."
