Counselling Chester

Hello, my name is Maria. I am a BACP qualified / registered counsellor, working from Hoole in Chester. I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling for adults agd 18+.

We can all feel anxious, stressed and out of control at times, I am here to help you explore your world, in your own way.

I offer a warm, empathic, safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore anything you wish.

I feel we are all unique and therefore the counselling relationship should be unique too. I will bring my full being into our space and aim to work with you on a relational, deep level.

My background is working within guidance and mental health support services. I believe my extensive client work in previous roles provides a greater depth of understanding for the issues we all face. Previous services I have worked for include; Healthbox, Women's refuge, The Foyer, Citizens Advice, Connexions.

I will create a safe, open space to help you feel comfortable, heard and accepted.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about me - please get in touch..
