About
Maria is an Integrative Psychotherapist with a strong grounding in CBT, attachment theory, and the person-centred approach. She draws on these modalities to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can make sense of their experiences, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
She views therapy as a co-created process, where the relationship itself can become a catalyst for healing. Deep listening, attunement, and authentic presence are central to her practice. She works with clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, insomnia, PTSD, Loss, ACEs, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
Background
In addition to a Postgraduate diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, Maria also holds qualifications in Couples Therapy and Systemic Family Constellations.
She brings over 20 years of experience in adult teaching, facilitation, and alternative therapeutic practices. Her work has spanned a variety of settings, including family and systemic therapy, coaching individuals and couples, addressing intergenerational trauma and restoring systemic balance. She has also worked extensively as a university lecturer, retreat leader, and group facilitator. Together, these experiences enrich her psychotherapy practice, offering a broad, embodied, and creative perspective in her work with clients.
Approach
At the heart of Maria’s work is the belief in the client’s inner wisdom and capacity for growth. By integrating cognitive, emotional, relational, and somatic perspectives, she aims to support clients in developing deeper self-understanding, repairing attachment wounds, and building new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Qualification
