Maria has always been incredibly understanding and has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life. She listens closely and can sense emotions I haven’t even noticed in myself. Our sessions are tough but also exciting, as they bring new insights and growth.

Reviewed November 2024

Maria is incredibly perceptive, gets to the heart of my issues and why they exist. She really makes me feel I can take control of my life and emotions, if I do the work she suggests, and that I don’t need to be a prisoner to patterns of behaviour that have existed throughout my adult life.

Hi, my name is Maria Mizamidou. I am committed to continuing to help others while growing my knowledge and experience in my field. I believe strongly in providing services that empower people and improve lives. I learned in my MSc about three psychotherapeutic approaches: Person- Centre, Attachment Theory and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and I have specialized in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I achieved to transfer my knowledge of these approaches to the clinical practice and vice versa.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Maria helped me find my true self when chaos was all around. No problem was too big, and equally no problem was too small. We've worked as a team for almost a year and I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Reviewed December 2023

She’s helping me in a way no one helped before. Within short period of time our sessions opened my eyes to so many things I didn’t even think of, and made me feel so much better. I don’t want to stop, I want to progress and I know that Maria can support me in that.

Reviewed November 2023

I really appreciate Maria's direct and honest approach. I have been working with for one year and really value the sessions. I have achieved alot personally with her input.

I've been working with Maria now since last October I never thought you could have an actual long-term relationship with a therapist I've enjoyed every moment she's helped me so much understand myself and I've had lots of quote unquote therapy moments that have felt so enlightening I am a better person than I was almost 12 months ago and it's all due to the guidance and support of my therapist

Reviewed September 2023

Maria is a great therapist, I always feel at ease when speaking to her and she helps me understand my feelings and puts things into perspective. She also reminds me of things take I easily forget of how I once felt for me not to go back down that road. I would definitely recommend and I would book in with you again when I can. Thank you for all your help the past weeks x

A great listener, with new perspectives. I am grateful she is able to encourage me to find the answers within myself but also very supportive and nurturing

Maria has been of great help these past two months that we've been working together! She has created a safe space for me to work on my mental help and commit to this journey with a new mindset! Having academical experience in the therapy field myself, i was very excited to have a therapist with her knowledge and expertise and seeing how it all manifests into practice makes me more than happy and hopeful for my personal growth! Couldn't be more satisfied and grateful!

Very communicative, intuitive and honest. I’ve only had two sessions but feel that I can be open with her and that she is non judgemental

Reviewed January 2023

I was never before happier with a therapists approach and understanding. We only had 4 sessions until today but I already can say that I am finding the help I was seeking for. I would definitely suggest Maria to a person struggling with anxiety, relationship issues or any form of stress in their life.

Reviewed January 2023

Maria has helped me in so many ways this year. She's supported me through some of the most challenging times of my life and her expertise and patience has allowed me to see the light when I only thought I'd see the dark. My confidence and self belief have grown thanks to her and I now have an ability to set (and keep) boundaries in my day to day life. I thank her with all my heart and would encourage others to use her in the future.

Reviewed December 2022

It is difficult to put into words just how amazing my sessions with Maria are! From the first time we spoke, I felt at ease and comfortable. Together we have really delved into my anxieties and how my experiences have shaped these, whilst also finding positive steps to help relieve these anxieties in the present. Maria has made me feel validated and understood, with no judgement. It is always a hard thing to do to open up about your insecurities, but with Maria I feel that I can share anything with her and she is there to support me and make sense of how I feel! I am so lucky to have her as my therapist. Thank you, Maria!

Reviewed December 2022

This is my first time engaging in therapy and was very unsure of what to expect. I felt completely at ease with Maria straight away and understood what was to be expected from each other. I gain so much from our sessions, I appreciate her straight talking approach and value the guidance and feedback that I receive from her. I only wish I had started therapy sooner rather putting it off for so long!

Reviewed December 2022

Maria has helped me tremendously with her insight, support and guidance. She has helped me build my confidence, realise how far I've come in a short period of time, and develop the tools to help me in the future. I feel really lucky to have had Maria as my therapist.

Reviewed November 2022

My experience with Maria so far has been brilliant. She's helping me analyse my past to help build a better future. It's also worth noting I pressed 'strongly disagree' by mistake to one of the questions asked, it was meant to be 'strongly agree'. I can't fault her and the support she's shown me.

Reviewed September 2022

Her honesty and clarity are really refreshing. I often found therapist ending up Just telling you what they thought you wanted to hear but here I find myself in an open and honest relationship and it’s doing me well.
