Hello, I am Maria, a counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression and complex trauma which can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with stress as adults. You might notice patterns like struggling to cope, to trust people, feeling ‘not good enough,’ or reacting strongly to situations without fully understanding why. 

Counselling can help you explore and gently work through these patterns, helping you feel more connected, confident, and in control of your life

I have been supporting individuals since 2007 through various roles, including a Bereavement Counsellor, a Health and Wellbeing Coach, a Health and Wellbeing Trainer within the employment sector—assisting people in overcoming significant mental health barriers. I am proud to have been part of a Counselling Service that has been awarded an MBE for providing high-quality counselling.

These experiences in my various roles have shaped my holistic approach to well-being, enabling me to address the emotional, mental, and practical challenges that individuals face. By understanding the interconnected aspects of well-being, I aim to integrate practices that promote emotional coping and regulation, helping you to navigate challenges with more ease and confidence that lead to a greater sense of balance.

Maria
