My name is Maria, and I am a multiply neurodivergent creative and expressive psychotherapist offering face to face counselling in Trafford UK. 

 

Although based in  Stretford in Manchester, I support clients from all over the United Kingdom. 

Whether you are contemplating therapy for yourself, your child or young person, I imagine that you have been riding a roller coaster of emotion. Making that decision, then finding a counsellor and entering into a therapeutic relationship is a courageous undertaking. 

 

Are you looking for?​

• Creative psychotherapy and counselling?

• Traditional talking therapy?

• Face to face in Trafford,?

• Online or phone therapy elsewhere in the UK?

• Gaming therapy- specifically Minecraft, but  other games perhaps on request?

• Adult therapy?

• Therapy for a young person including teens and university students?

• Therapy for a child aged 8+?

• Therapy as a counselling student?

• Neuroaffirming therapy with a counsellor who has lived experience?

​

Then I may be the therapist for you!

​

Clients who choose me are often;

•  Neurodivergent- or curious about whether they may be.

• Relational- looking for a collaborative approach to therapy.

• Children and young people in Trafford and beyond-  parents looking for a safe, supportive and collaborative but confidential counsellor for their children and young people aged 8+. 

• Adult counselling in Trafford and beyond-  face to face or online therapy.

​

Life experiences I work with;

​

• Bereavement (including complex, and bereavement by suicide).

• Self-injury and suicidal ideation. 

• Grief and loss (empty nest, relationship break up, friendships, estrangement, divorce, chronic illness and late life diagnosis).

• Neurodivergent curiosity and diagnosis (including late life).

• Anxiety and nervous system regulation.

• Identity- in all it's beautiful shapes and forms (gender, sexual, life after diagnosis or bereavement, empty nest etc).

• Life transitions- primary to high school, moving town/country, new parents, empty nesters, third culture kids.

It is my hope that being here will offer you a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether you feel we can work together.
