More about Maria
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I'm a warm, creative, empathic psychotherapeutic counsellor specialised in adults experiencing anxiety, depression and stress. Life can sometimes feel truly overwhelming and exhausting. I provide you with a space for reflection and self-healing where you can be truly heard.
I offer face-to-face, online, and telephone sessions in English and Spanish.
My approach is tailored to your needs. We can work long term or short term. We can explore whatever troubles you at that moment or work on a specific issue that's been bugging you. I believe in therapy as a process (not a linear journey) with ups and downs like life itself.
I will hold hope that together we can find a way through, helping you find ways to self-heal and feel better.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
