Read what some of my clients say...
"Maria was easy to talk to and created a safe, non-judgemental space for me to open up, which is something I really appreciate as someone who often struggles with “knowing what to say” during therapy.
She offers inclusive and affirmative therapy for people who are neurodivergent and/or Queer, and she demonstrated sensitivity to my cultural background. I highly recommend Maria, whether you are looking for individual or couple’s therapy!".
"I recently had the privilege of working with Maria as my couples counsellor, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the very first session, Maria's empathetic and insightful approach created a safe space for me to delve into my childhood traumas. Her deep understanding and gentle guidance helped me uncover how these past experiences have been influencing my adult life and relationships.
Maria's expertise in emotional management was invaluable. She provided practical tools and techniques that enabled me to navigate my feelings more effectively. This newfound emotional awareness has not only improved my well-being but has also had a profound impact on my relationship with my partner.
One of the most significant breakthroughs came from learning how to communicate more openly and honestly with my partner. Maria's compassionate coaching and role-playing exercises helped me develop healthier communication patterns. I now feel more confident in expressing my needs and concerns without fear of conflict or misunderstanding.
Maria's dedication and skill have truly changed my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to understand their past, manage their emotions, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships".
"I have been seeing Maria for some time now, and I can't express how grateful I am for her support. She is incredibly understanding of my problems and always takes the time to listen without judgment. Her soft and empathetic approach makes it easy for me to open up and discuss even the most difficult issues.
What truly sets Maria apart is her ability to provide the best advice. Her guidance is thoughtful, practical, and tailored to my specific needs. She has helped me navigate through various challenges with a level of care and professionalism that is unparalleled.
I always leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and more equipped to handle whatever comes my way. If you are looking for a counsellor who is compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Maria".
"My sessions with Maria were hugely transformative for me. This was my first experience of therapy so I was nervous about it but Maria immediately put me at ease with her approachable, compassionate approach. I have learnt so much about myself and how my thoughts, beliefs and values can be linked to past trauma in ways that I had not been aware of. Therapy with Maria has led to further exploration to seek further insights into myself. I am truly grateful for the sessions Maria provided. Thank you."
" I’m so perfectly happy with everything.
You’re the most approachable, kindest & understanding therapist I’ve ever known & more importantly you’re in tune with me & I don’t feel like I need to over communicate/explain myself. I’m not made to feel like an alien or belittled by my behaviour which usually I was by neurotypical therapists. I’m not afraid of Maria as I was with some therapists whose personal boundaries were like cold high icy walls. I can finally be myself with Maria".
" I am so grateful to Maria , she has helped me transition from a very deeply unhappy place in my life to a place where i finally feel seen and safe in my own body and mind. Maria helped me find myself, and did it in a way that was so understanding and empathic. The kindness and care she showed was deeply meaningful, supportive and has lead to a place in my mind i only ever dreamed of. she made the impossible possible. i will be forever grateful for the change she helped me make. she has given me the tools to support myself and my children in our neurodiverse lives and to live a for filling and happy life. she is easy to talk to and made even the hardest sessions feel safe and calmed me from a panic attack during a session and didnt make me feel ashamed or uncomfortable, she understood me and made me feel safe. I felt safe with Maria and that is a huge deal for a neuro divergant person. Thank you Maria, you are truly a wonderful person". (Client seen through Atrium Clinic, Southend, Essex).
