I went to see Maria as I had a medical condition caused by stress and anxiety. She has helped me so much, working through past issues and learning how to deal with situations that I would have before been extremely anxious about. She is so welcoming and relaxed. I cannot rate her highly enough!

Nathan Williams

It was such a pleasure to both meet and work with Maria.
She was so welcoming, and immediately I felt at ease in her company.
She has given me many tools / techniques to work with which I now use daily which help me moving forward with my life.
Maria is a very kind, caring gentle person and also very professional in her field.
I recommend her services 100%
Many thanks again Maria for your recent help

Maria is warm, friendly approachable and made us feel at ease with our very first initial meeting, we knew she was the lady for us and our therapy journey!
Recognising that u may need a bit of help and guidance with particular parts of your life can be a scary and daunting place, but it doesn't have to be! It became an eye-opening exciting learning journey about a lot of things with a very positive outcome for us personally 😀
Without Maria's help and support our paths to a happier place may have been longer and a lot more winding, working with maria is worthy of a 5-star review and more!

We wouldn't hesitate to call on Maria for any future therapy needs should they arise!

Thank you, Maria, grateful for you and your work ❤

Ali Bahman

My name is Ali, an Iranian/British who was lucky enough to find Maria as the result of my hopeless, and in my mind back then, very last attempt to save myself.
What I've learned and how far I came thanks to her is something I still find difficult to believe!
Three days from now, a year ago, on my son's birthday, I gave up on life and ever since was prevented to see my children which you can guess how much pressure could put on one's already fragile mind.
But today, not only I am still standing, but stronger and more hopeful than ever, to build the best future one possibly can, first for myself and then for my family.
I am not a believer as such, but if miracles are real, I found mine right here, where I call my healing place!
Thank you Maria! On my behalf and my children.

MdS has helped me so much. I cannot thank Maria enough!. I have learnt so much about myself through out the process.

Nelson M G

I suffered from anxiety issues that prevented me from performing in front of people. Classes, dates, oral tests, music recitals. All made me extremely nervous and uncomfortable. I used to sweat and stutter and struggle whenever I had to perform in front of someone, anyone but especially strangers or people evaluating me. Always afraid of being found wanting.
After Maria's Freedom Program however I feel much better, am able to think much more rationally about what I'm facing and no longer let those fears control.
I recently had to present my Master's dissertation and it not only went very well, I even enjoyed the experience.

Queenie

Words cannot explain how Maria's work impacted my life for the better.
From my first session I felt so comfortable and I knew I could splurge my feelings out without being judged. Not only was the setting comfortable but I learnt so much on staying calm and much more.
Everything Maria taught me during the sessions not only helped me in the present time but it also will stick with me for life. For anyone struggling I really recommend you visit Maria. I promise you won't look back.

Best decision of my life!
As someone who put off therapy for years because they were afraid of talking about it with a professional, this is the best thing I could have done for my mental well being.
You are seen and you are heard! Couldn’t ask for a better person to help me through my problems.

It was a bless meeting Maria.
I will start the exercises and come back to show results.

Thank you Maria.

Aurora

We didn't know what to do. We were arguing almost every day. I was feeling very resented and my husband more distant than ever. We decided that we were too different to be together. But because of our daughter (and business), we tried to get some advice and see if something could be done.
We found Maria and she seemed to have some insight into what was going on between us ... I couldn't be more grateful for your help. It changed everything. I never expected it, really. So,
Maria, thanks a million for this wonderful transformation in our relationship. Will never forget it.

For years I thought I had BPD, having been diagnosed with it. I was very angry and co-dependent. After 6 sessions with Maria, I realized my problem came from childhood-trauma. After resolving the trauma I've been feeling much more relaxed and focused and the way I interact in my relationships has changed completely.
I have no words to thank Maria.

Maria was great with helping me reduce my anxiety and stress in preparation for my exams.

Amazing service! Maria helped me with work on myself, my confidence and my relationships. Highly recommended!

Eddie Howard

I had extreme difficulty speaking in public, even shaking sometimes if the audience was large or it was important that I did well (which inevitably meant I performed poorly).
After some convincing I looked for help and found Maria's lesson. After 2 session I'm much better and can easily talk to a room of people without anguishing over it.
Thank you.

Having Maria working with me has really helped me alot and opened my eyes to seeing things in different ways. I'm so grateful for the help and support i have been given and still receiving. Such a lovely lady. Many thanks x

The guided imagery is a real positive tool for me giving me 15 mins in the morning just for me to concentrate on myself and helps set the plan for the day. Recording positive and grateful things however small makes me think about the good things from the day before. I have used anchor points a few times and this helps.
I do not dramatize the little things and have coping strategies to stop the overreaction. I have a goal to work towards of letting myself go and really enjoying the moment, this has happened a couple of times already

Kattie Papps

When I first started, I found it hard to see much good in life and myself I covered my face and wore baggy clothes to feel safe. I struggled with my thoughts and feelings about everything, I held a lot of negativities from traumas in my life. Now I no longer feel the need to hide I now understand how far I’ve come and how strong I am already and I can face anything I will survive no matter what. I am so much happier in myself and in my life, I see everything in a much better way including a great future when before I couldn’t see. My mind feels free of negativity and I challenge any thoughts I have with my inner critic based on fact and evidence… I sleep better I feel better I now walk with my head up whereas I would look at the floor… my whole life has changed I no longer carry the fear of dogs and people… I now know my strengths and values I know how to be my best possible self in all personal, professional and social domains I can see clearly how my strengths fit into all aspects of achieving our best life… I am so grateful and can’t thank you enough for the huge positive impact your work with me has made in so many lives now and forever.

What would you like to be different? What do you think can be improved in my work?

Nothing at all everything was perfect…
I would like you to know I appreciate you and your work it’s life-changing.. you are wonderful! We are enough!

    Simple tip – week 1 Imagine a tree. Let’s suppose this tree represents the tree of life. On this tree there are fruits. In life, our fruits are called results. So, we look at the fruits (our results) and we don’t like them; there aren’t enough of them, they’re too small, or they don’t taste good. What do we tend…
