Hello, I’m Maria. I offer a calm and safe space for couples, as well as individuals, to work on strategies designed to improve their communication, manage their emotions and develop strength and resilience in dealing with marital conflict. Put a stop to repetitive arguments. Find new ways to connect. Move your relationship forwards.

PLEASE NOTE:- I am currently unable to take on any new clients at the moment.

What drives couples to seek couples therapy?

  • They believe they have a communication problem
  • They want to change their partner’s behaviour.
  • They are not on the same page.
  • There is hostility which is getting worse. 
  • They are stuck in a power struggle.
  • They are unable to deal with confrontation and tend to use defensive coping strategies.
  • Their partner has had an affair.

Fundamentally, I believe that developing a deeper connection with one another is the key to happier relationships. Being able to hear one another from the heart rather than reacting from the ego can bring a level of awareness, clarity and understanding that wasn’t there before. Couples Counselling can help you get there.

As a graduate of the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, I use this theory as my roadmap. It is an approach to relationship counselling that focuses on the growth and development of each partner individually in addition to the growth and development of the couple as a team.

I am also an experienced Bereavement Counsellor. Loss comes in many forms and there is no set way of grieving. Grief is a natural process and has many stages which are not linear. Complicated Grief is what often leads people to seek outside help in coming to terms with their loss. I have written a couple of blogs in the Blog area of my website which explains what you can get out of bereavement counselling and what you can learn from loss. The links are below:-

Choosing the right Counsellor for you

From personal experience, I know that choosing a counsellor or psychotherapist who is the right ‘fit’ is crucial to the healing benefit of the work.  That’s why I’m more than happy to have a free no obligation chat with you first over the telephone, so that I can answer any concerns or questions you may have. Do therefore leave a message (if I can’t pick up) or email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can, usually within 24 hours.
