Improving relationships and support through change
Life events like relationship break-ups, work stress, bereavement, illness, infidelity and job changes can all put a strain on our relationships and lead to anxiety, resentment or anger affecting how we feel and behave. Working with one of our counsellors can help you to look at alternative ways you can respond to others, manage your feelings, and make sense of what has happened, all of which can have a positive impact on the dynamic in your relationships. If you are going through a break up, relationship difficulties, an abusive relationship, separation or divorce, we can provide you with counselling support through the process, working towards responsibility and understanding rather than blame and bitterness, and enabling you with time to embrace a new future. Sessions with one of our counsellors will help you look from outside the box, rather than being stuck in the box, overwhelmed and feeling like your options are limited.

"I would highly recommend Maria as an excellent listener and perceptive counsellor. She put me at ease and helped me explore my feelings and thoughts to understand myself better. with a positive impact on my relationships" A. Carshalton.

From feeling lost to finding yourself
Sometimes we can feel lost, anxious and confused especially when we go through major upheavals in our lives such as the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one or job change and stress - especially in the current difficult climate. Some of our clients describe it as losing their "sparkle" or "mojo", and others simply that they just don't feel themselves any more. The counselling support we provide can help you reconnect with those things that are important to you and adjust to a new and different future. As one client recently phrased it "I feel like me again and able to enjoy life" (R, Sutton).

Counselling, Psychotherapy and Coaching tailored to your needs
Every counsellor at the practice has worked within the NHS and community counselling services, and understands how difficult it can be to get support when it is most needed. The number of counselling sessions will be tailored to your needs, from a few sessions to support you with a particular issue, or regular sessions where you feel you would benefit from longer term support.

Cost effective Supervision for Counsellors
Maria is also an experienced supervisor and offers cost-effective Supervision for counsellors. She specialises in helping counsellors establish and/or develop their private practice. Contact me for a discussion about your supervision requirements.

"I can’t think of a session which wasn’t helpful to me or where I didn’t learn something about myself that helped me through difficult times and challenges. With a very good understanding of depression, anxiety and trauma Maria is exceptionally good at dealing with crises and short term issues. She’s also very good at helping clients empower themselves, finding healthier behaviours and making better decisions over the long term.

If you’re going to see her, be prepared to do some work! However far you might have drifted in life, she will help you bring yourself back to a healthy pathway forward. And if that all falls apart for you, she’ll stay with you until you are ready to try again by providing a safe, empathetic and encouraging place to reset yourself from".R. London.
