About Maria
She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. That helps people see where old hurts or family stories still shape choices now. Maria also draws on Jungian Therapy to attend to meanings and inner imagery, and on mindfulness to develop calmer responses to stress.
Clients come with many concerns, including relationship problems, grief, anxiety, low self‑esteem, addictions, trauma and issues around intimacy. She also supports people facing career stress, parenting pressures, mood difficulties and challenges such as ADHD, eating or sleeping problems. Maria pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment themes where relevant.
Her approach balances depth work with practical steps. Conversations aim to uncover repeating patterns and then try small changes to daily habits and communication. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs, with curiosity and straightforward language rather than jargon.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and inner narratives to help people find meaning in repeated patterns and feelings. It can be useful for those struggling with identity, emptiness or long‑standing emotional themes.Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and family history shape current reactions. It helps make sense of repetitive behaviours, attachment difficulties and emotional responses that feel stuck.
Mindfulness Therapy brings practical attention skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Simple mindfulness practices are used to build calmer responses to anxiety, anger and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape each person's plan rather than prescribing a single route.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as no specific formats are listed in the provided biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that fit around work, school or caregiving commitments.
