About me and my therapy practice

Hi and Welcome, my name is Maria

It can be a huge step to come to therapy for the first time, and I understand how scary and exposing this can feel; we all need help sometimes and I will do my best to make you feel at ease.

If you're struggling right now facing something that may impacts, you day to day therapy can help, you don't have to do it all on your own. In sessions you might be wanting to explore more about who you are or why you get stuck in unhealthy or unhelpful patterns that do not serve you anymore.

Counselling is a way of looking after yourself, showing yourself compassion, and developing self-awareness.

As a qualified, BACP counsellor I can offer you attention, patience and space to help you to work out what is really going on. A space to help clarity, to help identify your choices exploring possibilities and resilience within you.

Working together we can form a relationship to make you feel comfortable to explore your truths. I will listen nonjudgmentally with compassion and empathy through exploring your story and thoughts and feelings that co-exist.

This enables a true picture of how things are for you and often being heard and understood, perhaps for the first time can be deeply healing.

Together we can explore your processes and to gain a greater awareness on how these may be impacting you. This awareness shines a light and can kickstart a change. Exploring feelings in this process will help acknowledge your true feelings rather than repressing and denying them.

People come to counselling for a range of issues, we all have an array of life experiences that may impact us differently, so I work in a tailored way for you aimed toward your desired outcome and way of working. 

Practice description

I work in a relational way to create empathic therapeutic relationship which is beneficial for you. 

Along with this person-centered approach we may look to see how the past can influence the present Often, clients want to explore who they are and discover how their childhood has shaped who they are now; I welcome this exploratory work and see how beneficial that can be.

This lends a blend of theoretical approaches, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and CBT in my model, to enable me to work with a range of issues

I'm incredibly passionate about what I do - you can depend on me to be constantly growing and learning about this fascinating field in which to better help you.

I work both long term and short term with clients. The sessions are open ended and my clients are free to finish sessions with me at any point.

I know it can take a lot of courage to ask for help. I will offer you an initial appointment that is convenient for you and will try my best to put you at your ease. I will meet you with understanding and warmth, without any judgement and try to help you decide on the right way forward for you.

Life can throw us some massive curve balls, life events can send us reeling, human lives rarely run smoothly all the time. You don’t have to negotiate this on your own. Please contact me if you would like to book an initial session with me and start your therapeutic journey.

I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) which means I am committed to working ethically with you and put your wellbeing at the centre of our work together.

My first session

What to expect when you contact me.

Normally, a brief phone call before will be necessary to gather the details of why you want to come to therapy and to see whether we would be a good fit to work together.

The first session will be a 50-minute appointment.   

We will compete an assessment 

On our first session we would explore and encourage your autonomy by coming up with a plan of how we work together and what goals you may have. 

where I will take down details of past events, reasons and goals for therapy, and background details. This will be the only session where I take notes.
