More about Maria-Ann

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years proven experience of supporting clients in the workplace and educational settings. In May 2022 I became an Accredited Counsellor for Children and Young People and am now on that Register. I am committed to delivering client centred support that gradually empowers individuals and enables them to make informed decisions. I have detailed understanding of both the BACP and NCPS Professional Conduct and Ethical framework and apply such standards in interactions with clients and colleagues. Registered on the Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have a sound knowledge of counselling approaches and their application in real world settings and have a special interest in integrative counselling and compassion therapy. I work with adults with various mental health and day to day issues.

I believe I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity and respect. Recently I found that representation for the minority groups in the world of Mental Health is quite small and my own professional goal is to grow my own understanding and professional knowledge/experience in providing this group with Mental Health Support.

In my career as a Therapist I have worked with EAPS focusing on Bereavement, depression and self-harm and as an IDVA which provided support and help to women who have encountered Domestic/Sexual Abuse.

My areas of expertise include Domestic Abuse, Trauma, Bereavement, and Loss.

It is difficult taking the first step into therapy but now its done I hope to be able to help you.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Maria is kind, fun and a very attentive listener. I have only had a few sessions with her so far but already feeling more understood by Maria than most of the people surrounding me at times. Very grateful for that.
