Working with Children and Young People. 

 The wellbeing of children is so very important, particularly in this day and age! We are constantly bombarded with information from so many sources that our brains rarely find time to Just Be. With children they absorb new information so effortlessly that they don't even realise how much they are continually filtering.

I am able to show children, how to switch off and embrace relaxation, bringing about peace and calm. 

I can help your child in a variety of ways: Improving Concentration, Self Esteem, Confidence, Goal Setting, Stress around exams, peer pressure, body image.  

 I can coach Children and Young People towards a brighter, happier and calm state of being! Aiding them with skills that they can take through into adult life and allow them to make decisions in a positive way that allows them to feel empowered.

I currently offer a 6 week wellbeing programme, each session is 45 mins long and can be adapted around the young persons individual needs.

Some of the topics covered will be relaxation, mindfulness, low self-esteem, confidence building, coping strategies, letting go of unwanted thoughts, exploring new and positive ways of being.

If you have or know a child or young person who may benefit from my wellbeing programme please feel free to contact Marisa on 07557 923 201

CONFIDENCE -  THE BELIEF IN ONES ABILITIES  Confidence is most definitely a factor in the the key to success personally and professionally. Sometimes in life circumstance change, we hit a rough patch and we begin to doubt ourselves. Before we know it our ability to decide whats right for us vanishes into the background and we begin to doubt everything we do.  Do you think of all the things you would love to do but then hold yourself back? Do you feel ‘unworthy’ when around people?  Do you think everyone is better than you? Do you always say YES when you would rather say NO? A lack of confidence and self esteem can really inhibit so many aspects of our lives and prevents us from achieving our dreams and goals.  Whether you have had long-term issues with confidence or feel like it vanished overnight.  MBH has a  number of ways to rebuild this loss and boost your confidence once again.

Marisa will aid you in the discovery of the root of your insecurities and doubts. She will teach you techniques so you can empower yourself, giving you freedom to develop a fresh perspective and allow you to take back control, creating space for a happier more balanced YOU.

Using a combination of hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and CBH, (Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy) and various other techniques,   I will help you gain your confidence back by supporting and working with you to step out of your comfort zone, waving goodbye to fears, doubts and insecurities and replace them with new and positive thoughts to enhance you in finding a happier fulfilled life. 

ARE YOU READY TO SAY GOODBYE TO LOW SELF- ESTEEM AND HELLO TO A NEW CONFIDENT YOU? 

MOTIVATION - A DESIRE OR WILLINGNESS TO DO SOMETHING Motivation is the process that allows us to guide and maintain our goal oriented behaviours. It's the difference between doing and procrastinating.  We all have times when we start to feel stagnant and bogged down, which is why over time it can play on your insecurities, causing anxiety and leave you feeling disillusioned, and hoping that it will rectify itself and go away.  Every one needs to keep their self moving forward, whether it be personal goals in our private life or those on a business level.  When we challenge ourselves in new and positive ways it begins to  feel easier and more attainable; We start to find our worth once again, our passions flow and a new positive vibe steps into our being.

Marisa will help create a  shift in your thought processes, which will allow you to make the changes necessary to achieve your goals and aims, putting you firmly back in the driving seat, so you can take back control and make decisions in a proactive way that benefits all.  Using hypnosis, she will be able to re-programme your unconscious mind to support you in achieving your goals and desires and learning to value yourself and your time.

POSITIVITY - OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

Staying positive is not always easy! By changing our thought patterns and retraining ourselves we can all start to look at life in a more optimistic light. 

Is your glass half full or half empty? Do you try and find the best or the worst in a situation?  Are you able to reframe your negative thoughts?

Positivity really does alter our health and wellbeing for the better and allows us to find a solution to our everyday issues, instead of feeling trapped. ITs not about looking at everything through rose tinted specs but rather allowing yourself to see the potential to change and create new positive outcomes,  showing  belief in others and yourself.

According to studies by the Mayo Clinic, positivity can lead to less stress and better coping skills, longer life span,  lower rates of depression, increase physical wellbeing and resistance against colds. These are just some of the benefits!

If you would like to create a new sense of self acceptance and deal with everyday thoughts and situations in a optimistic light, then positive thinking could be the place to start, Marisa will work with you to produce changes in emotional attitude and response aiding you to  feel positive, comfortable and confident in your ability to shine.

Weight Loss  Are you looking to take back control of your body, so you are able to create a new sense of wellbeing and emotional calm? Have you tried numerous times to follow a diet or obsessively calorie count but find yourself back at square one before your know it?  Weight Loss is about finding your centre, IT IS not about denying yourself and then emotionally beating yourself up for eating chocolate, or having that glass of wine.  We are a nation of food lovers and there are many temptations with regard to food and drink; socially it feels hard to say no and when we say yes. those bad feelings and the guilt return and  we can end up eating or drinking more than we intended.  Its great to be nutritionally conscious and understand what it is we are putting into our bodies and what it doing for us. It's great to pair that with exercise and enhance your feeling of wellbeing.  What we  need to do  is  re-programme our attitude towards food and the way we eat it;  instead of denying ourselves, lets look at what we do want to achieve with food not what we don't,

My sessions use suggestion and hypnosis to bring about changes in your eating habits, thoughts about eating and weight control. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is also built into the session for added effectiveness. We will change your relationship with food so you no longer feel hungry or deprived of any pleasures,  I will work  closely with you to discover the root of your relationship with food and give you the tools to make those changes you desire,  value yourself, enhance you confidence and allow you to love you body image once more.

Addiction refers to any behaviour that feels out of control and damages the quality of your life. The desire to partake in the destructive behaviour is too overwhelming for you to say no? Marissa’s hypnosis programme helps you regain the control. It allows you to let go those unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause you to return to your compulsion. Using hypnosis the subconscious is re-programmed to lose the obsessive or uncontrolled impulses and replace them with healthier and more positive patterns of thought and behaviour.

Using these powerful natural tools, we will help you change the way you think about the craving. Aiming to take away the impulse to feel the ‘rush’ of the addiction and replacing it with the power of control. The natural high associated with being in charge of your own actions is both invigorating and liberating.

We aim to bring about positive lasting change by helping you to fundamentally change the way you think and feel about your addiction forever.

Sometimes in our hustle bustle lives we can sweep our feelings and emotions away to be dealt with when we have more time. The danger of this is that one day, we become overloaded and our bodies deal with these stresses in the wrong way.  Depression is the most common symptom of our stressful lives. Depression can be the result of unresolved anguish or grief. We may have pressures that we feel cannot be discussed for fear of embarrassment or shame. Depression can rear its ugly head when we least expect it and it can be the most debilitating burden to have to deal with.

Whilst anti-depressant pills can help suppress negative or anxious moods it does not provide a cure.

I work closely with you to discover the root of your behaviour and feelings. We will discuss the reasons behind your worries and create a unique treatment plan just for you. Hypnosis, combined with Neuro-Linguistic techniques and CBT helps fundamentally change the cognitive-emotional issues that keep many in the depressed state long term.

Hypnosis can help re-programme the subconscious mind to think and feel differently. My depression programme uses hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic techniques to bring about lasting positive change. I also often incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy into the hypnosis to further enhance the programme.

“Just one more week and i’ll quit” “It’s just not the right time, I have too much going on” “I’ve tried to stop but.....” I am sure every smoker has used at least one of these reasons before. There are so many reasons why you feel you cannot stop smoking and yet there are so many reasons to stop. The aim of our stop smoking treatment is to leave you with no cravings, no withdrawal symptoms, no weight gain and most importantly, no fear of failure. Irrespective of how many cigarettes you smoke a day or for how long you have smoked, our stop smoking hypnosis  sessions will help you beat the addiction

During the treatment, Marissa will use the counselling session to find out about you and your relationship with smoking.  You will discuss the reasons you started,  what times of the day you need a cigarette? why you think  you need a cigarette? Why you have failed to give up before?

You will have tailored sessions using a combination of hypnosis, relaxation techniques and (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and CBH (Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy)  to help you achieve your goals of a smoke free life.
