TESTIMONIALS

What my clients say about working with me?

"Working with Maria has been life changing. Her work style has helped me be more aware of my own feelings and emotions. She asks the right questions at the right time and those questions make the biggest different in my therapy journey. I love working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for therapist"

“I have been working with Maria for almost a year now. I cannot quite put into words the immense shift in my internal thoughts and perspectives, and the translational impact this has had on my external environment too. Beyond measure, Maria’s accepting, calm, and attentive approach has helped me to improve so many aspects of my life. It has been very rewarding to watch myself grow and to reflect on how far I have come already. I am grateful to Maria for so skilfully helping me to address life’s challenges, guide my personal development, and realise my potential.”

"I have been working with Maria for about 2 years and it's a pure pleasure! It was one of my best decisions to start a therapy. I really enjoy to work with her, changing my habits, achieving goals and build up my confidence, relationships with people around, and most important-with myself. My family and friends also noticed that positive change in me!

Maria is very professional but also has that 'human factor' you would expect from therapist- she is kind, polite and emphatic.

Fully recommend !"

"Maria Thrasivoulou. I can't recommend her highly enough. I had weekly virtual sessions for just over a year and it has been truly life changing for me. Best investment in myself and worth every penny [...] She's just so patient and kind and helped me work through trauma I didn't't even realise was causing most of my issues."

Alexa Young, CA

From my very first session, Maria was an absolute ray of warmth and kindness, always so calm, comforting, and patient no matter how difficult the topic of conversation was.

Having had therapy elsewhere at different stages of my life, I knew how helpful it could be, though it wasn’t until I had Maria’s professional help that I really felt the freedom to begin properly healing from my past.

I came to therapy with a very messy and complex range of issues, or at least that’s what I thought. With Maria’s guidance to put the puzzle pieces together over many months, it became clear that there were in fact just a couple of fundamental areas that all of these issues kept circling back to.

Maria was also able to identify what others had missed for so long. Having been told I was medically broken was in fact a gift all along, a quality to embrace and cherish, a deeper and more sensitive way of seeing the world. I can’t express just how radically this realisation has changed my life for the better.

Not only was I noticing positive mental changes as time went on, but what surprised me most were the physical benefits I’d also started to feel, with much improved posture and muscle tension melting away that I’d carried for a lifetime!

And in the middle of this healing rollercoaster of a journey, I found myself in possibly the worst situation I could imagine, with the unexpected death of a parent and the source of most of my trauma. Maria handled this with so much grace and patience, and yet wasn’t afraid to ask difficult questions that allowed me to navigate a very confusing time, to reach a sense of closure I never thought I’d have.

I was also given really helpful tips and written plans to refer back to, as a reassuring reference point in times of need. This gave me much needed direction, enabling me to be supportive and compassionate to myself, and to acknowledge and speak up for my own needs.

Maria also encouraged me to reconnect with my creative skills and long lost hobbies, as well as learning to allow space and time for myself. This all gave me a much needed sense of freedom, escape, positivity and enjoyment that has made so much difference to my life - just....wow!

If you’re hesitating about making contact and starting your own therapy journey, please don’t put it off any longer. Maria will sit by your side and guide you every step of the way, and for me, that was so transformative that it’s difficult to put into words! I never imagined I’d finish therapy feeling so happy, free and at peace, and though the hard parts of my past will always be part of my story, I can now sit alongside them and smile that I’ve come this far. Thank you so much Maria, I’m loving life, getting to know the happy, wild and wonderful me that has always been there underneath it all along!
