My name is Maria Rocha, I am a qualified Counsellor, Clinical Transpersonal Regressive Hypnotherapist and Supervisor, Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)) and General Hypnotherapy Standards council (GHSC).
I have a spiritual background and I believe we are all connected. I believe we are not on earth by chance but to fulfil a higher calling, which can be simply learning how ‘to be happy’ by being conscious of ourselves, of humanity and of the world.
I work with a wide range of techniques from different approaches such as Psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt, Integrative, Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Person Centered, Psychosynthesis, to Hypnoanalysis, Solution Focused therapy and a few more Holistic Therapies.
In this way, I will be able to help you to understand what is happening right now in your life, trace it back to the root that caused the pain/problem, heal what needs to be healed and strengthen your sense of identity so that you will be more conscious of who you are and your life.
Together, we will address your life’s problems on a physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level.
Let me help you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Maria is wonderful . I’m only a couple of weeks in and I already feel like I’ve known her for a lifetime. Maria is gentle but firm , very analytical and really knows how to get the deep information out of you in a comfortable manner . She holds you accountable and is extremely professional. I Was not expecting to click immediately with my therapist but she’s made it happen. Thankyou Maria :)
