Hello, my name is Maria.

I am a fully qualified Level 5 FdSc Person-Centred Counsellor awarded by the University of East Anglia. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have an enhanced DBS certificate.

I have experience working within the NHS and as a MacMillan Counsellor. I am familiar with the 12-Step programmes of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. I work with clients that are adults aged 18+.

My counselling approach is warm, empathic and non-judgemental. I offer a calm, safe and confidential space where we can gently explore whatever you are experiencing.

I work at pace that feels right for you, supporting you in developing greater understanding, self-compassion and insight. Building trust with my clients can develop a positive development of change.

We can all have times when we feel stuck and struggle with our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, creating anxiety, stress or low mood.

Counselling offers the freedom to explore and gain understanding, unlock your potential to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

What I Offer

I offer a free 30-minute introductory session online, which is relaxed and informal. You can ask questions and we can discuss what difficulties your looking to work on. You can take your time to decide whether I feel the right counsellor for you.

Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes and take place online via ‘Google Meet’.

Fees

Fee is £45 per 50 minute session, payable by bank transfer.

*Cancellation fees will apply if less than 24 hours notice has been given.

I offer a limited number of concessions (subject to availability) for trainee counselling students and individuals on low incomes. This can be discussed during the introductory session.

I look forward to the opportunity for us to work together.

Thank you for visiting my website.
