Meet Maria

Supporting You Through Life’s Challenges with Compassion and Care

​

My name is Maria, and I have spent many years working in the care and education sector. For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of working in a children's hospice, where I've met incredible children and families facing some of the most difficult times in their lives. These professional and personal experiences have deeply inspired me to pursue a career in therapy - not only to enhance my work but to better support those going through challenging moments.

​

As a newly qualified counsellor with a solid foundation in both care and therapy, I specialise in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and trauma. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and work toward healing and growth.

​

I believe in the power of a Person-Centred Therapy approach, where I meet you where you are in your journey and walk alongside you. Together, we will create a path towards understanding, self-discovery, and positive change.

​

Areas of Expertise:

• Anxiety and Stress Management

• Depression and Mood Disorders

• Trauma and PTSD

• Relationship and Family Counselling

• Self-Esteem and Confidence Building

• Life Transitions (e.g., divorce, career changes)

• Grief and Loss​

​

I am passionate about fostering an empathetic, open environment where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I recognise that seeking help can be a difficult step, but I am here to guide you with compassion, patience, and confidentiality - every step.
