Maria-Christina Kosteli

I am providing online sessions through zoom at the moment. Unfortunately, I do not offer face-to-face sessions.

About Me

I am a 麻豆原创-registered counsellor, a BPS-accredited psychologist, and EuroPsy registered. I hold a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Counselling Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. My therapeutic training is primarily person-centred, and I also integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where appropriate. I tailor my approach to the individual needs of each client, drawing on methods and techniques that best support your personal goals and circumstances.

I have extensive clinical experience supporting clients across a range of settings. Alongside my private practice, I currently teach Psychology at university level and offer online counselling sessions in the evenings.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or are struggling to cope with life鈥檚 challenges. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences, develop deeper self-understanding, and find new ways of relating to yourself and to difficult life situations. 

Areas of Expertise

I have significant experience supporting clients through bereavement, grief, and life transitions, with a particular specialism in fertility and pregnancy-related difficulties. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating:

• infertility and challenges conceiving
  
• assisted fertility treatment and its emotional impact
  
• miscarriage and pregnancy complications
  
• baby loss and perinatal grief
  

These experiences can bring complex emotions such as grief, guilt, anxiety, isolation, or loss of identity. My aim is to offer a compassionate and understanding space where these experiences can be explored safely and at your own pace.

I also have experience supporting clients with:

• eating concerns and emotional eating
  
• body image difficulties
  
• challenges with weight management and self-esteem
  
• anxiety and low mood
  
• relationship difficulties
  
• loss of purpose or life direction
  

All my work is currently undertaken on Zoom. My online consultation sessions help clients get support from the comfort of their home. I understand it might be challenging to get out and get help. But if you are struggling and you need to speak to someone contact me today and let me help you find the best in yourself.

My Approach

Therapy is not a quick fix or a 鈥渕agic solution.鈥� It is a collaborative healing process that requires time, reflection, and engagement. In our work together, you will be met with empathy, warmth, understanding, and a non-judgemental environment grounded in unconditional positive regard.

My goal is to help you develop insight, strengthen resilience, and feel more confident in navigating life鈥檚 challenges 鈥� supporting you to move towards becoming the version of yourself that feels most authentic and fulfilled.

Additional Work

In addition to counselling, I deliver seminars and workshops in stress management and mental skills training, supporting individuals and organisations to enhance wellbeing and psychological resilience.

The first session is introductory and is to find out more about yourself and also let you know a little bit about me and how I work. You will get to give me background information about your emerging issue and we can set some therapy goals together.
