Dr. Maria Smithers

*** Currently on Maternity Leave ***

I am here to provide a safe therapeutic space to support individuals who are feeling stressed, low in mood, overwhelmed, stuck and anxious. I help clients to improve their quality of life by exploring their difficulties holistically and creating collaborative goals that they can be supported to achieve independently. I work using an integrated person-centered approach drawing upon ACT, CFT, Mindfulness, CBT, solution-focused narrative, and systemic therapies.

In addition to supporting clients with experiences of low mood and anxiety, I specialize in supporting the psychological well-being of individuals living with chronic health conditions. I also have a specialty and passion for supporting the mental well-being of individuals from neurodiverse populations (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia etc).

As therapy can be a difficult process to start, I offer a free initial consultation to learn more about your hopes and expectations for therapy and to tell you some more about what I offer. The sessions are run via an online video platform or telephone contact. I look forward to hearing from you.
