About me

First of all, I'm Maria, nice to meet you ☺️ I'm a psychotherapist in training in integrative trauma therapy at the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Trauma and a clinical psychologist in supervision. This means that I am trained to work with people who need psychological support because they have gone through or are going through difficult periods in their lives, with lasting impact, or because they want to improve their way of functioning in their daily life (emotional state/energy level/attention/sleep quality/relationships/professional life, etc.). I also perform psychological evaluations for various types of symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, PTSD) - the evaluations can either support your psychological counseling process later on, or bring you information about what is happening in the psyche and recommendations for improving the symptoms you are experiencing. The way I offer psychological counseling is as follows: depending on what you want to achieve differently in your life after our sessions, we establish a goal together, then we identify how I can support and guide you to get closer to it. We evaluate from session to session how the process is for you and what you would need to get the most out of it. It's a collaborative way of working, in which I bring my expertise in how the psyche works and you bring your own expertise about your life and what suits you best. That's why you will see that the process will be built by the both of us together, based on your feedback.
