My work brings together Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness & Psychotherapy, creating a space that is grounded, intuitive and deeply attuned to you.

We work with the whole of your experience, mind, body, emotions, relationships and the deeper layers of what gives your life meaning.

Perhaps you recognise this…

Repeating relationships, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty with boundaries, feeling disconnected from yourself, understanding something intellectually but still reacting the same way.

Why talking isn't always enough

We can understand something intellectually and still find ourselves responding differently when we're triggered. This is where I bring together psychological understanding with attention to the body, emotions, nervous system and relationship.

There is more than one way we can work together.

Hi, I'm Maria.

Therapist. Researcher. Human being.

I believe we don't always need to fix what is difficult. Sometimes we need the space to meet it differently.

My work is rooted in the belief that meaningful change can emerge when we have enough space to feel, enough structure to feel held, and enough curiosity to discover what lies beneath our familiar patterns.

This is where our work begins.

If you're curious about working together, an initial session is simply a chance to meet, talk about what brings you here, and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit.

There is no expectation to commit to ongoing work. We can take the time to explore what you need and what might support you.
