Maria | Person Centred Counsellor
Person Centred Counselling Wigan
Hi I'm Maria. I'm here to listen, support, and help you make sense of what you’re going through - whether it’s anxiety, low mood, trauma, or the lasting effects of abuse.
I offer a safe, compassionate space for anyone navigating anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, or the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences. I work with individuals and couples and together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening, develop coping strategies that work for you, and help you feel more steady and in control.
While I work with a wide range of concerns, I also have specialist experience supporting people affected by sexual abuse or violence, always at a pace and in a way that feels safe for you. My approach is person-centred and neurodiversity-affirming, meaning every session is shaped around you.
I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you with compassion and flexibility. Sessions can include talking, reflecting, or creative methods such as doodling, image cards or sand tray work - whatever helps you express yourself best. I also incorporate grounding techniques and CBT-style exercises when appropriate.
I work face to face in Standish, Wigan and also work online or over the phone.
If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message via the send a message - button.
