About me
Welcome. I’m Maria, an experienced counsellor, coach and hypnotherapist. I specialise in working with clients like you to enable you to achieve your goals and move forward in life. Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, lift your mood, boost your self-esteem or realise your potential, I can provide a confidential, safe and supportive environment.
My approach is to listen and understand what you want to achieve, focusing on your unique situation and drawing upon my experience of providing psychological therapies, including integrative counselling, solution focused therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness.
Some of my key services include
- Stress and anxiety at work, in relationships or at home
- Dealing with life transitions
- Building confidence and self-esteem
- Depression and low mood
- Shame and guilt
- Hypnotherapy
- Navigating menopause
- Solution focused single session coaching
- Pain management techniques
- Fear around childbirth
Clients appreciate my flexible approach to therapy and whether you’re looking to understand yourself better or set off on a new path in life you can expect professional support in our work together. If you're feeling stuck or dissatisfied and would like to explore the way forward I can help with that. I have experience of working with adults of all ages and children and young people from year 6 upwards.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with Counselling from Bournemouth University and I continually stay updated with latest trends and developments. I am a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, the National Hypnotherapy Society and the British Psychological Society.
