About Maria

Maria Mina works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and related life changes by offering integrative psychotherapeutic counselling that draws on different therapeutic approaches. She is registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has four years' experience in counselling and related roles.

Maria uses a practical, conversational style to help people talk through what is holding them back. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practising different ways of coping. She aims to be straightforward and honest in sessions so clients can decide what change they want to make.

Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent many years in public and not-for-profit roles, including human resources leadership. That background informs her work-life balance and career-related support and helps when addressing workplace stress and redundancy issues.

She has supported people through grief, separation and low mood, and works with concerns such as parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, anger and compassion fatigue. Maria also offers life coaching-style conversations for people wanting clearer goals or practical steps forward.

In addition to private practice, she has worked with Anxiety UK as an approved therapist and volunteered with the mental health charity Mind. This experience complements her counselling work and contributes to her understanding of common stress and anxiety patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to use the service's matching process to book a first session and discuss whether her approach fits their needs.

How her therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Maria describes her work as integrative psychotherapeutic counselling, which means she draws on different evidence-based techniques and combines them to suit a client's needs. For example, she may use practical problem-solving strategies to tackle work-related stress and life coaching-style steps to set clear goals and monitor progress.

She also works with talking-based methods that help people process grief, relationship concerns and low mood by exploring feelings and trying new ways of relating to problems. These approaches are useful for managing anxiety, improving self-esteem and addressing compassion fatigue in day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with the client to identify which approaches fit the person's goals and preferences, and will adapt sessions as understanding develops.
