Marie Weiss Holistic Psychology

About Marie

Marie has been practising as a Psychologist for over 25 years, providing counselling & psychotherapy to adults and young adults 18 years and over.

Her logo says Get to the Heart of the Matter and that's what shes particularly good at.

Often people who come to see me say it's the first time theyve been able to get to the bottom of their concerns. When that's known, the way forward becomes clear.

Marie believes that much of what we need is already within us and we can discover that, make changes and grow and gain new insights and perspectives, with the help of a supportive and skillful guide.

If you imagine that the way to deal with your problem or issue is part of your life journey, then a counsellor and psychotherapist is like a guide with the capacity to walk alongside you for a time, with skills and knowledge like a map, compass and torch to light the way.

"It's just the way of things that making a change or dealing with challenges in our lives often requires help from another. Self-help only goes so far. That's why recognising we need help can be such a relief."

You'll find Marie warm and gentle in her approach. Her heart logo also speaks to the compassion that's part of making the journey to greater health and happiness, and what we find at the core of ourselves and others as we do so.

She brings experience from working for over 25 years as a student and staff counsellor in Melbourne TAFEs and unis as well as in private practice in Carlton and Fairfield. Marie has in-depth knowledge and training in:

• understanding the mind-body connection
