Meet Maria

Hello,

I am the principal psychologist at PsychMind. My core values guide how I personally handle life’s ups and downs and my approach as a psychologist. I aim to teach practical skills, build flexibility in thinking, and enhance meaning in everyday life.

In my spare time, I enjoy quality time with my loved ones, brunches, coastal walks, and daydreaming about travelling!

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you find more meaning and satisfaction in your life.

Yours sincerely,

 Maria  

Genuine

My approach to interacting with my clients is guided by my values of being authentic, warm, and genuine. Revealing your innermost thoughts and problems to a stranger can be a vulnerable experience and working sincerely facilitates a trusting therapeutic relationship between the client and psychologist.

Practical

I believe that seeing a psychologist should be more than talking to a friendly face about your past and problems. I equip you with evidence-based and practical strategies to facilitate change and move towards a richer and more meaningful life. You can expect to learn effective strategies to think, behave, and feel differently from the first session.      

Open

My approach to counselling is open-minded, curious, and flexible. Sessions are tailored to your needs and I am keen to receive feedback on the therapeutic approach that works best for you, whether that be a more direct and forthright approach or a gentler approach.
