I offer a warm, collaborative space where evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy meet real-life challenges.
Hi I am Maria Waris Nawaz, My ideal client is someone navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or identity confusion. They may feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, burnt out from caregiving, or unsettled after a major life transition. What they truly want is relief, clarity, and confidence to move forward. They seek a safe space to unpack their emotions, understand their inner world, and create meaningful change. They’re not looking for quick fixes they want deep, lasting shifts in how they live and connect with others.

Therapy with me is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.
In our first session, we talk about what’s brought you here — whether it’s the pain of repeated relationship disappointments, uncertainty in a long-term partnership, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, disordered eating, or emotional distress. You may be navigating life feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like things should feel better than they do — and you’re looking to change this.

Somatic Movement therapist, Somatic Trauma & Stress Release Training, Cert.
You might be navigating a life transition, relationship challenge, deep grief, or feeling lost in patterns of anxiety, burnout, dissociation or overwhelm. Perhaps your body is holding what words cannot express—chronic pain, tension, or a sense of disconnect. You long for relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. My work is for those who seek more than just talk therapy—who want to feel change in their body, not just understand it in their mind. Together, we create space for healing, where old patterns can unravel, and a sense of possibility, agency, and ease can emerge.

Although I enjoy helping people in many areas, I really like working with anxiety, life transitions, relationship counselling, trauma & grief.
I combine the knowledge and expertise of a clinical psychologist with the experience of counselling and therapy and the wisdom of many years of life. I believe in living life as fully and positively as possible. Although I use a number of modalities I particularly like working with EMDR, schema based therapy, experiential work, and EFT for couples.

I use different approaches, such as trauma-responsive, humanistic, existential, somatic, person-centred, attachment theory, neuroscience, and narrative, to help you understand your experiences.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when we're trying to navigate our emotions, relationships, work, or even our own expectations. It’s not always easy to understand why we do what we do or how to make the changes we want. If you’re looking to become a more authentic version of yourself and gain a deeper understanding of your actions, therapy can be a powerful tool to help you on that journey.
There are times when we just need to speak our truth—without fear of judgment or the worry that our words might be misunderstood. If you are tired of living the same cycle, therapy will help you make the changes you desire.
