I came to Maria feeling like the past was ruling my life and stopping me from enjoying the present. I embarked on her programme Freedom and I'm so glad I did!! Maria was so understanding and empathetic mixed with a good dose of giving me some compassionate reality checks. She's helped me look at my past with a smile using the Rewind technique. She's helped me to see life from a different, more simple, perspective. I have made so many adjustments to my thought processing as well as understanding and accepting my authentic self. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Maria xx

I highly recommend Maria to anyone who needs help and is making the first step to be better.
I had four sessions with Maria over a month and she is a wonderful, caring and kind person. She has helped me more than I could have ever expected and has given me the tools I needed to be a better version of myself. I looked forward to each session and enjoyed every moment. Her unique approach and vast wealth of knowledge and resources was an awesome learning experience. Thank you!

I have had such a positive experience with Maria and I have had a wonderful journey on the program to freedom!
At the start of the program I came to Maria feeling anxious everyday, I wasn’t sure whether I would have a good or bad day, I was suffering from health anxiety as well as relationship anxiety, I wasn’t sure I would ever feel better but I knew I wanted to try!
8 weeks on I feel like I have a totally different perspective on life, I understand my partner so much better, I understand my emotions better and I feel so much calmer if I’m having overwhelming or scary thoughts as I don’t carry the anxiety with me that I used to!
I can’t recommend Maria enough, she has truly helped me get my life and my confidence back! Thank you so much!

I recently had the privilege of seeking help from Maria during difficult time in my life, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt welcomed and at ease.

Maria's extensive experience and training were evident. She took the time to understand my unique needs and tailored her approach accordingly. Her blend of cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices resonated with me.
Maria is an exceptional listener. She allowed me to express my thoughts without interruption, allowed me to be myself, cry and express everything at my own pace. Her empathetic responses made me feel understood and validated.
We set clear goals together, Maria consistently guided our sessions toward achieving those objectives. Her structured approach helped me track my progress and stay motivated.
Maria accommodated my schedule by offering weekend appointments. Her responsiveness to urgent matters outside of sessions was reassuring and very helpful!
She maintained professional boundaries while still showing genuine care. Confidentiality was a priority, and I appreciated her commitment to ethical standards.
Thanks to Maria's guidance, I’ve seen significant improvements in managing anxiety and stress. Her practical strategies have become valuable tools in my life.
Maria is a compassionate, skilled therapist who genuinely cares about her clients’ well-being. If you’re seeking effective therapy, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her.

After 2 or 3 year of being unhappy and living separate lives, and hanging in there for the sake of our young daughter, we decided to reach out to Maria for a last ditch attempt to save our marriage so we could say we had tried every possible thing to make it work. We signed up for the peace and joy programme, and I can honestly say it the best thing we have ever done. With Maria’s help it has transformed our marriage, and we are the happiest we have been since I can remember. Maria is warm, kind, understanding and fair. She puts you at ease from the minute you walk through the door. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Maria, we couldn’t have done this without you. And we will be forever grateful.

Love Maria so much. She is a wonderfully kind, empathetic and non-judgental person. She helped my partner and I to understand each other and ourselves and she gave us the tools we needed to resolve differences and disputes in a safe, supportive and loving way. We are so glad we went to her and will definitely go back in the future if we feel we could use help in strengthening our bond again. Wholeheartedly recommend.

It was such a pleasure to both meet and work with Maria.
She was so welcoming, and immediately I felt at ease in her company.
She has given me many tools / techniques to work with which I now use daily which help me moving forward with my life.
Maria is a very kind, caring gentle person and also very professional in her field.
I recommend her services 100%

Many thanks again Maria for your recent help

Maria is , warm, friendly approachable and made us feel at ease with our very first initial meeting,we knew she was the lady for us and our therapy journey!
Recognising that u may need a bit of help and guidance with particular parts of your life can be a scary and daunting place,but it doesn't have to be! It became an eye opening exciting learning journey about alot of things with a very positive outcome for us personally 😀
Without Maria's help and support our paths to a happier place may have been longer and alot more winding, working with maria is worthy of a 5 star review and more!

We wouldn't hesitate to call on Maria for any future therapy needs should they arise!

Thank you Maria,greatful for you and your work ❤
