About Maria
Maria Mina brings four years of counselling experience to her practice and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. She introduces herself plainly and listens first. Her goal is to help people remove the obstacles that stop them living a meaningful life.
She offers a calm, honest and non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels hard. Sessions are for reflecting on what is holding someone back and for planning small steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online access
Maria describes her work as integrative counselling, which means she draws on a small set of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. One common approach is talking therapy focused on identifying what keeps stress and anxiety active, helping people build new ways of coping and thinking. Another frequent element is practical coaching, which breaks down goals into clear steps and helps with work-life balance, career changes and confidence building.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. She works collaboratively, adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer during sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, chat can be a quick way to reflect between sessions and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping sessions regular and focused.
