you’re a capable, talented woman held back by body focused repetitive behaviours
and you’re in the right place to find the help you’ve been looking for.
Using a fast, highly effective and deeply transformational approach, I help you to uncouple from your compulsive behaviour and begin the journey towards recovery so that you can step confidently into the life you’ve always wanted.
You have big dreams and a clear vision for your future, but you feel your struggle with skin picking, hair pulling or nail biting is keeping you from reaching your full potential and living the life you crave.
It’s not your fault. You’ve worked so hard to build the life you have. You’re talented, driven, and respected—but despite all you’ve achieved, there’s something you keep hidden. You battle the compulsion to pick or pull and it feels like it’s really holding you back.
It’s exhausting, frustrating, and at times heartbreaking. You may feel trapped in a cycle of shame and self-blame. You wonder why, despite all your strength and determination, you can’t seem to overcome this one thing.
You want to break free from these behaviours so that you can reclaim your health, confidence and unlock the freedom to pursue your goals and ambitions.
Imagine a life where you feel completely in control of your BFRB. Imagine a life where it’s possible to feel free to trust yourself fully and step confidently into everything you’re capable of-your career, your relationships, your sense of self, all thriving when you’re in control, understand and have mastery over your behaviours.
That’s the life that could be waiting for you.
you’ve tried so many times…
and you’re tired of feeling misunderstood and let down when you’ve asked for help.
You’ve worked too hard and come too far to let this struggle hold you back.
My approach is different-it’s fast, deep and practical, combining trusted therapeutic methods with a profound and unique understanding of all aspect of body focused repetitive behaviours.
I’m extensively trained in this area and have dedicated my practice to working with women who battle with these behaviours. I help them to heal effectively, reclaim their confidence and create lives they love. My experience, commitment and deep understanding of your struggle mean you’ll never feel alone and unseen in our journey and it’s my commitment to you that I will use all of the tools and insight that I have to help you achieve the change you desire.
Working together, we’ll create a path that’s uniquely yours—facilitating deep change and building lasting resilience.
This is not a quick fix; this is specialised work.
I’m Marian Staal and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Brain Body Change
Intensive.
Take the next step with an EMDR Intensive, designed to give you rapid results in an immersive transformational experience.

Transformational Therapy Retreat
Residential Retreat.
Join me for a high octane EMDR based intensive therapy retreat where the focus is on getting you to exactly where you want to be in relation to your body focused repetitive behaviour.
EMDR works best when the body feels safe, the mind is open, the environment supports calm and healing feels most natural. Here, in the spectacular natural setting of the Oakhaven Retreat Centre in Southwest France, you will make rapid progress towards disengaging fully from your BFRB.
We’ll work intensively but gently over four days, giving you an unforgettable experience of healing and growth.
