More about Maria

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping adults, young people and children. I currently work under the umbrella of BCS Counselling Service based in South Wales which is an ethical integrative organisation with the goal of providing accessible counselling.

I work with young people and adults with a range of issues such as; anxiety (social & health), depression/feeling sad, trauma, BPD/EUPD, bipolar, OCD, autism, drug & alcohol use, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, bereavement, relationship & sexual issues, LGBQ+ (bi-sexual allied), family dynamics, bi-racial, bullying, school exam stresses, work stress, low self-esteem, general wellbeing and more.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
