About me

My name is Maria and I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, a NLP Master Practitioner and a Trauma/ Attachment Informed Coach.

I am an expert in helping people understand and overcome their past conditioning or trauma, and learn new, practical and science based skills, to resolve their emotional and relational problems. 

 I specialised in post-traumatic memory re-consolidation and relationship issues.

How can I help you? 

Do you crave Inner Peace and Emotional Balance?

Do you want to be free from past conditioning, trauma and negative habits?

Do you want to understand, accept and deeply connect with others?

It’s time to learn the skills that will consistently give you that.

 
What will Therapy do for you?
 
You will understand, accept and celebrate your own unique traits

You will discover your attachment style and develop a secure attachment

You will identify and challenge old beliefs, create new habits and heal from traumatic memories

You will learn Nonviolent Communication, so you can drop judgements, shame, guilt, and demands. You will build meaningful connections with people around you.

I invite you to book a half an hour free introductory session where you can check if you feel comfortable and if this is the right approach for you. 

No commitment, no pressure, no judgement. Just a simple chat.

I am here, looking forward to guiding you in these wonderful journey. 

Take care,

Maria

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
