About Me

I’m Maria, a registered psychologist with over 25 years of experience in mental health. My mission is to guide individuals through their emotional challenges and support them in leading more meaningful and fulfilling lives. In my practice, I provide a compassionate and secure space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, facilitating personal growth and healing.

Areas of Specialisation

I work with a diverse range of clients, including:

• Adults and Young Adults: Addressing anxiety, depression, and navigating major life transitions.
• Families: Supporting parents, managing family dynamics, and fostering conflict resolution.
• Individuals with Trauma: Offering support for those coping with PTSD, grief, and trauma recovery.
• People in Life Transitions: Assisting with career shifts, relocations, or personal development challenges.

Whether you’re confronting specific mental health issues or seeking personal or professional growth, I am here to support you on your journey.

Therapeutic Approaches

I integrate evidence-based therapies, customising each approach to meet the unique needs of my clients. My therapeutic techniques include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helping clients challenge and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Cultivating present-moment awareness to reduce stress and promote wellbeing.
• EMDR Trauma-Focused Therapy: Facilitating healing from trauma with specialised interventions.

My goal is to work collaboratively with you, creating a path toward well-being, resilience, and a greater sense of purpose. I also conduct therapies in Spanish.
