Approach

Maria is a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist. She specialises in helping people suffering from depression, anxiety and trauma (including PTSD and CPTSD) so that they can feel better and stay better for longer. We all have times in our lives where we feel stuck and unsure how to move forward. In sessions with her, she aims to work respectfully, collaboratively and non-judgementally with her clients so that together they can can (a) come to a shared understanding of the client’s difficulties and; (b) find new and more helpful ways of managing them so that her clients can learn new skills and begin to make changes in the areas that are important to them.

Experience

Maria is chartered by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). As a Clinical Psychologist she is skilled in offering a range of specialist psychological therapies guided by the evidence base. There is no “one size fits all” and the approach she takes depends on the individual person and what they need. She has worked in the field of mental health and the National Health Service (NHS) for a number of years and she chose to focus on private practice full time in 2022.
