About Maria
Hello, my name is Maria and I’m a fully qualified Couples Counsellor.
My approach is mainly person-centred, based on the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow and change. I also use an integrative style, drawing on different methods so sessions reflect your unique needs as a couple.
I know reaching out for help can feel daunting, but I’ll guide you through gently. Whether you want to strengthen your relationship, separate more respectfully, or simply find clarity, I’ll provide a safe and confidential space to explore what feels right.
Sessions are led at your pace. I’ll help you listen to and understand each other more deeply, easing resentment and building space for trust, connection, and positive change. Couples often tell me my approachable, down-to-earth style helps them feel comfortable opening up and being honest.

Background & Experience
Before becoming a couples counsellor, I gained experience in a variety of roles where supporting people was at the heart of what I did. Over the past nine years I’ve worked with both couples and individuals, helping them explore challenges such as communication breakdown, betrayal, loss of intimacy, and emotional disconnection.
My background has given me strong insight into the different pressures that affect relationships, from family dynamics and parenting to external stresses such as work, health, and financial concerns. I’ve also volunteered within the community, further strengthening my ability to work with people from all walks of life and diverse cultural backgrounds.
How I Can Help
I'll help you gain a better understanding of yourselves and each other through a warm and approachable framework.
I will help you find healthier ways of communicating your feelings and expectations within your relationship.
I'll work with you to identify and explore how specific patterns of relating may be impacting your connection.
Together, we develop strategies to build a more resilient relationship to help you navigate life's challenges together.
I will draw upon different theoretical approaches to ensure the support is perfectly suited to your specific relationship dynamics.
