Maaria is professional and very kind person. I felt safe to express my toughts and feelings and never felt judged for it. I’ve progressed quickly because she made me find strenght and confidence within myself and taught me skills and methods to deal with my anxiety and feelings when I get overwhelmed. I’m ending my membership now but only to see how I cope on my own. I was very happy I got matched with Maaria, she was amazing and gave me a great experience opening up for therapist for the first time.

I am a person-centred counsellor who has worked with individuals From various backgrounds and in the mental—health field for the past five years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, And workplace stress.
Sometimes we need space to feel heard, sometimes we need space to think and be present with ourselves. I am non-judgemental regardless of my own values and beliefs. As your therapist I will accept you for who you are and meet you with empathy. I will be with you in your chaos, in your binding and I will be patient with your process. With a person-centred approach I welcome people from all walks of life providing empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard.
My aim as a therapist is to provide a safe, accepting, non - judgemental therapeutic relationship in which I will help you explore and make sense of what you need to. I believe each person experiences different realities due to their perceptions of the world; I find this to be the beauty of uniqueness. Anybody can go through times when despair, shame, anger and sadness seem overwhelming.At such times, it's easy to feel lonely, hopeless, lost and unlovable. These are very tough moments, but you are not alone.I offer a compassionate and caring environment. I will help you to make sense of what is happening and to find the best means of managing difficulties.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatising labels. My approach combines the person-centred approach, which allows you as the client to navigate our sessions. I also use cognitive-behavioural techniques and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Maaria is professional and very kind person. I felt safe to express my toughts and feelings and never felt judged for it. I’ve progressed quickly because she made me find strenght and confidence within myself and taught me skills and methods to deal with my anxiety and feelings when I get overwhelmed. I’m ending my membership now but only to see how I cope on my own. I was very happy I got matched with Maaria, she was amazing and gave me a great experience opening up for therapist for the first time.
Maaria is very professional and kind person, somebody you can always turn to seek advice from. I’ve learnt a lot from her and while I cancel my membership it’s only because I want to try to use the skills and techniques I’ve learnt from her on my own and see how I can cope alone for now. I made progress very quickly because she made me find the strenght and confidence within myself. I’ve felt safe to express my feelings and toughts and never felt judged by her. She is amazing.
Maaria created a very safe space for me to voice and express some of my issues. Very welcoming and always there to listen.
It was good 4 sessions with Maria
