My name is Aparecida, although I usually go by my second name – Maria, and I am an experienced integrative counsellor offering online therapy across the UK. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or struggling to make sense of what they are going through.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and adapt them to your individual needs, recognising that no single method works for everyone. Our work together is flexible and responsive, shaped by what you bring and by what feels most helpful for you at each stage of your journey.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and at your own pace. Although many of my clients are based in Suffolk and Essex, I work online with people across the UK. What matters most is not your location, but that you feel safe, heard, and supported while exploring whatever challenges you are facing.

Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, especially if you are used to coping on your own. You do not have to face things alone. Whatever you are experiencing, taking this step is a meaningful and courageous move towards understanding, healing, and change.

I have a background in psychology and counselling and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in accordance with their ethical framework, with a strong emphasis on confidentiality, respect, and client autonomy.
