Slide ‘Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain’ Vivian Greene

A.S.

I realised I needed help when my anxiety was overruling my life, it was incredibly difficult to take the first step and seek for help. Mária has offered a safe environment for me to understand further what was happening, as well as providing the tools to overcome the issues I have been facing. My overall mental health and quality of life have massively improved since starting my journey with Mária. I would highly recommend her kind and compassionate support.

E.C.

I felt like I had lost myself when I got in touch to ask for help, I really felt the life I was living wasn’t my own. Through our work together I found myself back in touch with who I am. I feel assertive again, I’m no longer scared to say what I think. I’ve also learned to ask myself “what do I want?” rather than always prioritising everyone else. I often worry and ask myself “but what if X happens?”, especially when making decisions. You helped me to realise that I can only work with the information I have right now, which has really helped to bring me back to the present moment and stopped my mind wandering off so much. Life will surely throw more things my way, but at least now I feel firmly anchored in myself and know that I will navigate life’s crazy waters staying true to myself. Thank you Mària, for giving me the gift of my own company again.

I have been in therapy with Mària for over a year and a half now. Mària is incredibly compassionate, patient and understanding, and has taught me how to love and forgive myself. Upon starting therapy, I was struggling with anxiety and loneliness. Through our time together Mària has shown me how to be attentive to my body and my needs and how to stay present during “stormy weather”. Thanks to her, I feel more at peace and confident in tackling any mental health difficulty that comes my way. She has also been instrumental in me surviving this pandemic and our sessions act as a safe haven where I can unpack anything that’s troubling me in an accepting and supportive space.

I’ve decided to start therapy because I was going through a difficult time with my partner. I learned a lot about myself in the sessions, I feel stronger, more aware of my own needs and able to express them in my own relationship. I highly recommend Mária as a counsellor

Counselling with Mària has been a journey that helped me to see myself, the world around me and my past experiences from a different perspective. She is welcoming and empathic, something that I found helpful especially at the beginning, as I’ve never been in therapy before. She made me feel supported and safe.
