Some of the difficulties we may face include anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, family issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, bereavement, suicidal ideation, work-related stress, and burnout.
I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you will be listened to and feel heard. We will inevitably all face moments of adversity and periods of distress in life. I aim to help you make sense of these challenges and find meaningful ways forward.

Making choices without guilt or fear.
Something brings you here. And somewhere inside, you already know, things aren't quite right. When did you last feel truly like yourself? Many people come to me carrying that question quietly, for a long time. Lost somewhere between relationships, expectations, and the habit of always putting others first. When that weight becomes too heavy to carry alone, it might be time to look deeper. I'm Maria Carolina, a psychotherapist and former university lecturer with 20+ years of experience. Together, we explore patterns and desires shaping your choices, not just what you feel, but why. So you can hear your voice, and live by it.

People frequently experience anxiety before visiting a therapist because it can be very intimidating to discuss our most intimate thoughts and feelings with a stranger.
I aim to give clients a healing environment that is private, strictly confidential, and judgment-free so they can recognise, investigate, and ultimately address their issues. I am an integrative psychotherapist, with a BSc Honours Degree, and have a genuine empathetic personality. In addition to integrating different models and methods of theory, I use a person-centred approach that is specifically customised to address the needs and concerns of each of my clients. These include internal family systems, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychoeducation.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
