VALUES AND APPROACH

Maria Malioris Counselling believes in a wholistic approach to providing support to clients, and as such, endeavours to incorporate elements of counselling and coaching based on the unique needs of each individual. Through the extensive experiences I have gained as a counsellor, I firmly believe that each individual has a unique way of learning, and it is therapy that needs to be tailored to the individual, not the individual that should be forced to adapt to the therapeutic approach. Through coaching we can explore practical strategies to lessen immediate negative impacts from our presenting issues, and through counselling we can process past traumas and unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns to minimise them occuring again in future. When combined together, we can experience a powerful shift in our psyche to help us feel more at peace with the past, motivated in the present, and empowered with a clear direction for the future!

PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

At Maria Counselling we hold your privacy and confidentiality in the highest regard. We understand that seeking counseling can involve sharing deeply personal and sensitive information, and we are committed to creating a safe and trusting environment where you feel comfortable to open up and explore your concerns.

Confidentiality is Paramount: Your privacy is a cornerstone of our practice. All information shared during counseling sessions is kept strictly confidential. We adhere to the highest standards of confidentiality, ensuring that your personal information is protected in accordance with legal and ethical guidelines.
