Marissa Robinson

Hi, I鈥檓 Marissa 鈥� an integrative counsellor and holistic therapist, and the heart behind Willow and Heart.

I'm passionate about holding space for people 鈥� whether you're navigating emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, or just feeling a little lost. I believe that healing isn鈥檛 one-size-fits-all, which is why I offer a gentle, flexible approach rooted in connection, creativity, and care.

I hold a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling for Adults and am Relate-trained in relationship therapy, with additional qualifications in holistic therapies that support emotional and physical wellbeing. My practice weaves together a range of therapeutic models 鈥� from person-centred and gestalt to psychodynamic, systemic, solution-focused, and a little CBT 鈥� always tailored to you and your needs.

I work with both individuals and couples, offering a calm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, seen, and supported.

I鈥檓 an outgoing and enthusiastic person, and I bring my full, authentic self into the work I do. As someone with dyslexia (hello neurospicy), I鈥檝e come to see the world through a unique and creative lens. This neurodivergence is a strength 鈥� it helps me connect in more intuitive, imaginative ways, and approach each client with fresh, curious eyes.

When I鈥檓 not working with clients, I love to get creative 鈥� especially crafting handmade wire trees by hand. These little trees feel symbolic of my work: rooted, growing, and unique to each person鈥檚 journey. I also have a deep appreciation for nature, art, and all things handmade and meaningful.

I offer a 15min free consultation and from this if you would like to move forward with counselling the first session will be an assessment.

Here I鈥檒l ask about your history, medical background and what you would like to gain out of therapy. Then from this we can both decide whether we make a good match for you to take your journey. As much as it is a privilege to work with people I understand I may not be the right fit and equally if I thought you may need someone with better experience or expertise I would recommend/refer on.

Taking a step into therapy is courageous and admirable so I want to make sure that when you go through your story you will be saying 鈥渢hat was worth it鈥�.
