Hello, I’m Marcos.

A qualified hypnotherapist and counsellor, helping people make the changes they want and move through life’s transitions.

My approach

You are at the centre of the process

I work with a person-centred approach, which means you are at the centre of the therapeutic process. My role is to offer a warm, safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space, where we work together on what’s getting in your way.

I’m passionate about that collaboration. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing clients make changes they had stopped believing were possible for them.

Alongside hypnotherapy, I also support people through life and career transitions: a new role, a change of direction, a loss, or the end of a chapter.

How I work

Three things you can count on

Person-centredYour goals, your pace and your story guide every session.
CollaborativeWe work together on the barriers, rather than me telling you what to do.
Safe and non-judgementalA warm, private space where you decide what to share.

Training

Trained in hypnotherapy and counselling

Every session draws on both: hypnosis to work with automatic patterns, and counselling skills to understand what sits behind them.

Before therapy

Forty years in business and IT

Before becoming a therapist, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and built a career of more than forty years in the corporate world, working on business and IT projects.

  • Developer
  • Applications Designer
  • Project Manager
  • Business Analyst

That experience means I understand the pressure of demanding jobs, deadlines and big career decisions, and the toll they can take.

Starting over

I know what it’s like to build a life in a new country

As an immigrant who has also studied this subject, I understand the process of change and adaptation that comes with moving countries. I can support you through the culture shock, and help you settle in and feel part of your new life sooner.
