More about Maria
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
My background is working with drug and alcohol clients experiencing problematic drug and alcohol misuse and who also have significant mental and physical health issues. I also work one day a week in private practice, counselling individuals who are experiencing low threshold mental health issues, providing a safe space for individuals to talk about their any issues they are currently experiencing and work part-time as a mental health practitioner with women who are in crisis or in distress.
I have over 20 years experience of working with individuals from a wide range of diversity and cultures presenting with a wide range of issues across community based services which has helped to gain increased knowledge and skills with being able to encourage, motivate and empower individuals to explore and think about positive and facilitating changes to help improve their well-being , by using person-centred and cognitive behaviour therapy to help implement realistic short and long term goals to help empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
