Maria has been a great help over the past few months. I’ve been able to find a mental space that works for me. While I do still have various troubles that are due to external factors, Maria has helped me find ways to manage them. Its just me letting the side down

In such a short time, Maria has helped me rationalise things and identified key behaviours which have been huge issues in my life. I look forward to our time together and I'm so grateful that she listens and takes care to communicate with me in a beneficial, constructive way.
