Maria is kind, fun and a very attentive listener. I have only had a few sessions with her so far but already feeling more understood by Maria than most of the people surrounding me at times. Very grateful for that.

I am an Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years proven experience of supporting clients in the workplace and educational settings. In May 2022 I became an Accredited Counsellor for Children and Young People and am now on that Register. I am committed to delivering client centred support that gradually empowers individuals and enables them to make informed decisions. I have detailed understanding of both the BACP and NCPS Professional Conduct and Ethical framework and apply such standards in interactions with clients and colleagues. Registered on the Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have a sound knowledge of counselling approaches and their application in real world settings and have a special interest in integrative counselling and compassion therapy. I work with adults with various mental health and day to day issues.
I believe I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity and respect. Recently I found that representation for the minority groups in the world of Mental Health is quite small and my own professional goal is to grow my own understanding and professional knowledge/experience in providing this group with Mental Health Support.
In my career as a Therapist I have worked with EAPS focusing on Bereavement, depression and self-harm and as an IDVA which provided support and help to women who have encountered Domestic/Sexual Abuse.
My areas of expertise include Domestic Abuse, Trauma, Bereavement, and Loss.
It is difficult taking the first step into therapy but now its done I hope to be able to help you.

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.
