“I found you gentle, but professional. I felt I was in good hands and that you knew what you were doing. I always felt in control and safe, and after the session things felt clearer and I was less anxious."
Jules, West Sussex
"You helped me to be aware of my anxiety and then to dial it down. You also gave me space to reflect on why I experience so much anxiety in social situations and to make some changes to my relationships."
Sam, London
"Thank you so much Maria. Such a great session and the technique you taught me was so good. I've used it a few times this week when anxious thoughts have bubbled up"

How we'll work together:
-
We’ll begin with a free assessment call to ensure this is the right fit for you (this isn't a therapy session)
-
In our sessions, we'll focus on the present and future, rather than going deeply into the past
-
Using CBT, we’ll gently explore situations that trigger self-doubt or social anxiety, and uncover the patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck
-
From there, you’ll learn to: Respond to yourself with more kindness and confidence; Feel more in control in social situation; Show up more fully as yourself, without overthinking or holding back
-
At the end of each session, I’ll guide you into a calm, focused state of hypnosis (similar to meditation), where you'll remain fully aware and in charge. Hypnosis helps embed changes more deeply, so they begin to feel natural and lasting
-
The work is gentle, structured, and collaborative, and tailored to what you need.

-
Confidential group, enabling you to hear from others and feel less alone

-
£225 per programme* (a lower-cost alternative to one-to-one work).
*Payment plan available. Concessions sometimes possible.
There’s something healing about realising you’re not the only one who feels this way.
How it works
-
We'll book a one-to-one assessment session to ensure the group is right for you (this isn't a free therapy session)
-
In the group, you’ll learn practical tools, experience guided hypnosis, and have the option to share and reflect with others
-
There’s never pressure to talk, or even to have your camera on
-
We'll have a short break half-way through
-
There will be suggested activities to try between sessions and hypnosis recordings to listen to again and keep
-
Many people find that group work reduces shame and isolation, builds self-wort, and creates a sense of belonging.
