Profile

I specialise in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, (CBT) and my aim is to provide a therapy that is tailored uniquely to your individual needs, circumstances and goals. I can help you manage your stress levels and difficult emotions, bringing more clarity and balance within your life, offering also a safe space for you to be listened to. Let me ask you when is the last time you were truly ‘heard’ and ‘understood?’ Also are there times when you feel overwhelmed with anxieties and emotion, invisible or under appreciated? Or feel consumed by a sense of hopelessness that makes it difficult to feel motivated or positive about anything?

CBT is the recommended therapy by NICE (National Institute for Excellence), as it is proven to be effective at treating a wide range of emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. It looks at how our thoughts affect how we feel and these feelings directly influence behavior. Have you ever stopped and took note of what you were thinking when you felt a change in your mood? Have you noticed how you behave when you felt that way? Through CBT you can gain awareness- why me, why now, why won’t my problem go away?  I will teach you invaluable skills that will enable you to manage difficult emotions now and in the future.

We will work together to transform your life!

Testimonials

Maria helped me through a journey I didn't think I could ever survive. Without her support I would never have been brave enough to take the steps to understand my grief. I remember at times how I felt so afraid inside even to share how I really felt, but Maria gave me strength and trust. I had stored many tears and pain over the years, tears to me were weak. I was so afraid to face them in case I fell and I couldn't get back up, this was my biggest fear. I needed someone to support me and I thank you Maria for being there, you helped me release the pain in my heart. You helped me to grieve, you helped me to find me again and you helped me to smile again! Thank you.

Maria has helped me deal with several issues. Using her excellent knowledge of CBT, has changed me from being 'Mr Negative' to 'Mr Positive' and has helped in my relationship with my partner. She has also helped me a great deal with a bereavement in the family, that I never grieved over and a Father who was never there. Although I was not convinced that this was the right thing to do for me, I can honestly say going to see Maria was the best thing I have done and needed to do. I would recommend her 100%. Again thank you Maria for being a great help and getting me on the right track. The best money I have ever spent!!! Mr D.M.

I would like to thank you again for all your support during the last few months. As well as practical advice I have found the process of talking through issues with someone independently very helpful, in many ways reassuring. You have helped me make sense of a good number of my issues. I am eternally grateful. (Mr S.C)
