People may seek counselling for all sorts of reasons; whether it's for help with life's emotional wear and tear or because of deep distress. Counselling is an opportunity to explore any worries or concerns that are important to you. I work with adults, on a one to one basis, in person, over zoom or by telephone. I have over 20 years experience of working in the field of mental health and well-being. I believe in our ability to develop and grow as unique individuals. My aim is to support you in working towards a deeper understanding of yourself and your world; moving closer towards reaching your full potential.

Hello, my name is Maria. I qualified as a specialist child & adolescent counsellor in 2011. Since this date I've been privileged to support hundreds of young people, plus their parents and educators, to cope with the many emotional hurdles faced during childhood and beyond. My friendly, empathetic, calm personality, allows me to form and sustain strong therapeutic alliances. In sessions I blend talking, creative, and play therapies, to best suit the young persons needs. My roles within International and U.K. schools have enhanced my understanding of cultural diversity, and the challenges of transitions for young people.

I offer therapy that fits you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach. I work with adults, including students, navigating challenges such as stress, identity, confidence, anxiety, and life transitions. Some people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck, unsure how to move forward. Others want time to reflect, make sense of emotions, or work through experiences that have shaped them.

Ultimately, we seek to find relief and peace from renewed personal balance and healthy forward momentum.

Hello and a warm welcome. I am interested to hear what brings you to counselling. I will offer you a safe space to share your story and to feel listen to. A space where you feel able to say how it is and you feel understood without being judged. I will be genuine and together we can explore your experiences in our sessions. EMDR is another approach I am trained in. I believe in humans' abilities to change, to grow and to heal and I feel positive that counselling can facilitate this.
