I could not recommend Maristela highly enough. She is brilliant. She is patient, knowledgeable and not at all pressuring. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone wanting therapy. She is life changing!
Natalie
Therapist
This was my first time attending any type of therapy. Maristela is so warm and inviting and made me feel so comfortable to talk openly.
She has some amazing techniques that really make you think and see things in a different light - these also helped me access thoughts I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. I would definitely return if I felt the need at a later date. Thank you Maristela!!

Counselling
I’ve seen numerous therapists with varying levels of success but I can honestly say that Maristela is the best and amazing at what she does. She is so supportive and encouraging which really makes all the difference to recovery. The best part is that she doesn’t just give you a space to talk, she also takes time to teach you about your brain and how certain experiences can affect it’s functioning. Having it broken down like that made everything seem so much less overwhelming and progress developed quickly from there. 100% would recommend to anyone. More...

I found what I was looking for quickly and easily which could have been difficult in these Covid times. There was a good selection of options and the reviews and price ranges were helpful too.

Maristela was excellent to work with. She had so much compassion, empathy and understanding when meeting with her which was also impressive given it was over zoom! I found the sessions enormously helpful and found Maristela to be a hugely skilled counsellor and found my sessions with her of enormous personal benefit. Would highly recommend! More...

Maristela was working with my 12 year old daughter, she was the second counsellor my daughter had within the wellness centre and she just connected with Maristela straight away. This is the first really important thing I think when going into counselling as my daughter felt instantly that she could trust which meant she could open & speak up. Thank you Maristela for all your help! More...

I have been working with Maristela who has been fantastic. Unlike previous counselling I have had, I feel there was a genuine care for me as a person. Maristela was empathetic and really professional she helped me learn about what I was feeling and ways to combat this. I was given various theraputic methods to try outwith counselling time which was helpful. I was sorry when the counselling had to end as she was my comfort blanket. More...
