Maria Russo - MBACP (Accred) BA (Hons) Humanistic Counsellor in Cambridge, Girton, Arbury, Chesterton, Milton, Histon, Madingley, Bar Hill, Northstowe and surrounding areas in Cambridgeshire
My aim is to help you regain control over your life and reach your best potential
Why Counselling
Hello and welcome.
Life presents challenges and problems that can be difficult to address at times, leaving us feeling unable to figure out or confused on what to do.
If you feel depressed, stressed, anxious, have relationship issues or are feeling worse than usual, if you are subject to bullying, domestic violence, physical or emotional abuse, I am here to help you.
If you feel the need to talk to someone to share your worries and concerns in confidence and without judgment, I am here for you.
My approach is Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis (TA), a modern form of psychology that incorporates elements of humanistic, person centred, integrative, psychodynamic therapies into a very versatile therapy that can be used in treatment of all types of mental health disorders, from everyday problems to severe issues.
For example, typical characteristics of Person Centred therapies (e.g. empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence) are combined with techniques used to examine human behaviour through the analysis of social transactions, categorised into three ego states—Parent, Adult, and Child.
Through counselling, I can help you to understand how your interactions and communication patterns are and have been influenced by these internal ego states, come to terms with emotions, behaviours or other issues troubling you, provide tools to resolve conflicts by identifying the causes of disagreements and find ways to improve your communications and develop more effective interpersonal relationships.
Counselling services with psychotherapeutic techniques
My name is Maria , a fully qualified counsellor (BA Hons) and a Senior Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP (Accred)) who believes that everyone is worth it.
I offer a safe, calm and compassionate environment, where you can talk freely without being judged or criticised. I will help you to gain an understanding of your concerns then explore and interpret the underlying causes and find together a viable way forward.
I support young people (16 years of age and over), individuals, as well as group therapy together with another qualified counsellor, on a variety of issues:
Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood these root causes, we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. We will work together to get you through the troublesome episodes and achieve long term positive changes.
I provide counselling to clients in Cambridgeshire, covering Cambridge, Girton, Arbury, Chesterton, Milton, Histon, Madingley, Bar Hill, Northstowe surrounding areas, for on-line and face to face sessions.
I believe it is important for you to feel comfortable before you decide to begin the healing journey.
I offer to have a preliminary conversation over the phone to discuss your issues and decide together the most appropriate way forward.
