The Functional Mind

Each of us holds within ourselves the strength, wisdom, and courage needed to create meaningful change. When life's pressures leave us feeling burnt out, stuck, or disconnected, having a safe space to pause and reflect can be a powerful first step toward healing.

Hi, I am Marlynna. I specialise in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, and self-esteem issues. I also work with relationship difficulties, work-related stress, and major life transitions, including career changes, relocation, and the journey into parenthood.

My approach is warm, reflective, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change flows from creating space for self-understanding, emotional healing, and personal growth. I work collaboratively with each client, drawing on their strengths and adapting my approach to support their unique journey.

My therapeutic style is integrative and person-centred, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. Through a personalised approach, I help individuals uncover new insights, reconnect with their inner strengths, and deepen their relationship with themselves and those around them.

When life feels uncertain or challenging, finding a grounded space for reflection can make all the difference. I offer a supportive space to explore, process, and reconnect with your inner strength.
