Do you feel like everything is just too overwhelming? I know how scary it can be to reach out and ask for help, especially when life is already a struggle. I believe that nobody should have to face their difficulties alone. Which is why I commit to providing you with a warm, accepting and safe space where we can explore your challenges together. I am passionate about making counselling as easy as possible to access. Providing remote sessions that you can attend from any safe and private space.

I am a HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with children and young people across educational and charitable settings. I offer a safe, supportive space where children can explore their emotions, experiences, and inner world through the creative process.
Children often find it difficult to articulate how they feel using words alone. Art therapy provides an alternative means of expression, allowing thoughts and feelings to emerge naturally through image-making and creative play. These expressions can then be safely explored verbally and understood within a contained therapeutic relationship.

You may find yourself repeating painful relationship patterns, struggling to trust others, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or questioning your worth in close relationships. Perhaps you have experienced relationships that left you feeling unseen, unsafe, or deeply hurt. Even when life appears “ok” on the outside, relational trauma can quietly shape how you connect, cope, and view yourself. I specialise in working with adults affected by relational trauma, attachment wounds, and the lasting emotional impact of difficult or inconsistent relationships.

Hi, I'm Maya. I am a Psychotherapist and Founder of Third Therapy, a private practice of therapists. Therapy is about exploring parts of yourself that are lost, or difficult to face, and ultimately, trying very hard to accept those parts. In doing this, our relationship with ourselves, and with others, can shift and become more meaningful. Often, another element of therapy is understanding the patterns and knots that we are part of, and learning to untangle them. We can do this together, I’ll always be firmly in your corner - but I’ll also be there to challenge you.

There are different times in our lives when we may encounter challenges in our emotional world. Transition and change can sometimes trigger these challenging feelings. For example, moving home or employment, changing relationships or friendships; life changes such as going to university or reaching age milestones. Any of these can significantly affect the way we feel about ourselves. We react in different ways to what we encounter in our environment. We might become depressed or overwhelmed by intense emotions or we might feel anxious and unable to engage in social activities. It can all become too much to manage alone.

I'm a HCPC registered Art Therapist. Part of the support I offer is art therapy groups, which take place on Zoom with myself and co-therapist Anne Stegmann. Group members can be based anywhere across the UK. The online art therapy groups have been designed to provide a space for exploring thoughts, feelings and situations using art. Using creatively to detangle and make sense of our situations. The group format allows group members to join together, reflect and feel the support from each other. As time goes on the groups' connection will deepen, allowing this to become a powerfully connected, creative, safe space.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
