About me and my therapy practice
My name is Maria and I am an accredited MÌÇÐĹÙÍø (Accred). Psychotherapist. I am currently working towards completing the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
I provide an empathic, non-judgemental space where the clients can open up and feel seen and heard for who they truly are. The therapeutic sessions will be tailored to meet their unique needs, based on a shared understanding of their concerns and problems. We will work collaboratively and I can help them live more fully, drawing from their internal resources and abilities.
As an existential- integrative therapist, I am drawing on the approaches that best suit the issues the clients bring into the therapy room. I offer both short-term and long term therapy for adults. In existential therapy, emotional and psychological difficulties are viewed as inner conflict caused by an individual's confrontation with the givens of existence. Rather than delve into the past, the existential approach looks at the here and now, exploring the human condition as a whole and what it means for an individual.
Whilst focusing on the existential approach, I can also work in an integrative approach, which means that I draw on the approaches that best suit the issues the clients bring in to the room.
Therefore, I can work with other various psychological approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. I have a special interest in working with the Transactional analysis model, which can help clients gain insight into their relational patterns and how these influence their relationships with others. My approach as a whole, is tailored to the individual client.
Practice description
I have a particular clinical interest in supporting clients who have experienced conflict in the workplace, workplace bullying, as well as those struggling with work-related stress or burnout, which is also of particular academic interest to me.Alongside workplace-related difficulties, I also support individuals experiencing a range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, bereavement, life transitions, expatriate or cultural adjustment stress.
