Maria is the kindest person ever who came into my life in a time of need. She has a practical approach to everything and is a great listener. She is non-judgemental and is always very optimistic. At times where I would feel maybe ashamed of myself she helps me think about things in a more positive light and as a result of her strategies and her overall expertise she really has changed my outlook on a lot of things in life for the better and as a result my mental health has improved hugely. I couldn’t be more grateful for what she has done for me. She is a gem of a human being and I could not recommend her more.

Starting therapy can be a daunting experience and so my aim is to help you feel at ease by working with you in order to help you overcome the obstacles that are stopping you from leading a meaningful and authentic life.
Counselling provides a place to talk freely and to reflect on what is holding you back, bring about the change you want and enable you to move forward in a different way. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental and honest and provides you with a safe space where you can process and work out what you want and what you need in order to achieve your therapy goals.
I am a qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor which means that I can combine different therapeutic approaches and tailor therapy to suit your unique and individual requirements.
In addition to my private practice, I work with Anxiety UK as an approved therapist and a volunteer therapist with the mental health charity Mind.
I have always worked with people - before becoming a therapist, I worked in the public and not for profit sectors for many years, as a human resources director, where my focus was creating a culture that was inclusive, caring and supportive, and fair.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Maria is so kind and understanding and very practical thinking which is hugely beneficial to me - she’s definitely helped me to learn and understand myself a lot more and has given me coping methods for struggles I have in life which makes things a lot more manageable for me. Thank you for everything !
She is amazing! Very practical and a good listener too
I always come out of my sessions with Maria having more clarity and direction, and more confidence to take action. The support has been extremely valuable in dealing with my struggles and understanding my patterns.
Maria has helped me through a lot of personal issues I wanted to work through. She challenged me on my truths and helped me see a different perspective that serves me better. Always listening and never judging. I've got a lot from our sessions and I recommend her to anyone
Maria has been very helpful in helping me find some insight into my daily issues, both by listening and proposing good ideas that can tackle them
I feel I’m in good company when talking Maria.
Maria treads the line between supportive and challenging in a way that is really working for me. I finish our sessions with lots of thoughts and ideas about next steps, and find myself mulling over some of her questions through the week...
Maria is very good at listening but also challenging preconceived notions and reframing. Good at suggesting creative options one might try.
