Maria Williams

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, with 20 years experience working in the addiction field and 6 years as a mental health practitioner for the NHS.  I have also provided  counselling services at an Employee  Assisted Programme Service.     

I work with individuals who are experiencing substance misuse/alcohol issues, depression, anxiety, other low threshold mental health issues and also work related stresses experienced.  

I am a conscientious, self-motivated and reliable individual with over 20 years experience of supporting vulnerable adults and children.

I am passionate about empowering and motivating individuals, by providing a listening, non-judgemental, confidential space, whereby you are able to explore past or current issues you feel stuck and unable to move forward with, using person-centred, CBT and other psychodynamic counselling theory approaches.  

I regard myself as an effective listener, with the ability to remain calm and maintain a professional approach adhering to the ethical guidelines and principles of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapist who I am registered with.

I am currently available for either short or long term face to face, online or telephone counselling sessions and provide a concessional rate to students and trainee counsellors.
