About Marina Collins

Helping you transform anxiety into confidence, peace, and freedom.

Hi, I’m Marina, an award-winning Clinical Hypnotherapist and Anxiety Specialist based in Fife, Scotland, let me tell you a bit about me.

I help people break free from trauma, phobias, and emotional overwhelm so they can reconnect with their true selves and live more confidently.

But this isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling.

For years, I battled depression, anxiety, and trauma rooted in both childhood and adult experiences, including the emotional toll of a mentally abusive relationship. I unnderstand what it’s like to feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, and like you’re constantly fighting just to keep going. But I also know what it’s like to heal, to rediscover your power and rebuild your life from the inside out.

That’s why I do this work, because healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

My Journey to help others

Like many of the clients I now support, I had tried everything, talking therapies, medication, self-help books, but nothing ever truly stuck. It wasn’t until I discovered hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) that things began to shift.

These tools helped me see myself differently and helped me release emotional baggage I didn’t realise I was carrying, which led me to start thinking, feeling, and behaving in more aligned ways. The transformation was so powerful that I knew I had to learn everything I could to help others find the same freedom.

What started as personal healing journey has become a lifelong mission.

What Makes My Approach Different

I blend a unique combination of:

Clinical Hypnotherapy
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Havening Techniques®
Kinetic Shift
Silent Counselling

Together, we uncover what’s holding you back and gently release it. This integrative approach means we work on mindset, energy, emotion, and the body. Shifting thoughts and emotions at a core level, so that real, lasting change becomes possible.

Old Patterns Could Be Holding You Back Have you ever found yourself reacting the same way over and over again, even when you know that it’s not helpful?You avoiding a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable. You constantly seeking reassurance. You might put yourself last, struggle to say no, overthink everything and find yourself trapped in the same emotional cycles. The frustrating thing is you know those patterns don’t serve you, but yet they keep showing up. Those unhelpful patterns didn’t start as a problem. It was your subconscious looking for a solution. Your subconscious minds sole job is to protect you and keep you safe. It’s like an internal bodyguard. It relies on familiar patterns to help steer you away from danger. When I was young I developed a fear of heights. My dad had an accident on the Forth Road Bridge and because of that I became frightened of anything that was high, particularly if there was water under it. This included drains. I know logically there was no way I could fall down a drain, but my subconscious saw a familiar pattern so it tried to get me away from the danger. At some point in your life your subconscious mind has learned a way to protect you from hurt, rejection, disappointment or emotional pain. And while those patterns might have helped you through difficult times they might now be stopping you from moving forward. Avoiding situations keeps anxiety alive. People pleasing can leave you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted and perhaps even resentful. The overthinking robs you of peace and confidence as well as perhaps sharing time with loved ones. The constant self doubt stops you from becoming who you truly are capable of being. But guess what. Those patterns CAN be changed. You don’t have to be stuck with those old habits, thoughts or emotional responses that you had developed over the years. Imagine how it would feel to respond differently. To be able to trust yourself more. To feel calmer in situations that once felt overwhelming. To be more confident with the decisions you make. How good would it be to stop being controlled by old fears and to be more in control. Once you become aware and recognise a pattern that’s the moment to take the opportunity to change it. That single moment of awareness can be the first step towards a completely different future Is there a pattern or habit that you’ve noticed in yourself that you’d love to break free from? Marina ...

Who I Work With

My clients are people who are tired of just coping, they’ve decided that they are ready to heal. They might be dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, stress, PTSD, unresolved trauma, or confidence issues. Some are struggling in relationships, at work, or with their health, and they know that it’s time for a deeper solution.
