Is your child struggling to regulate his/her emotions? Does your child get into trouble at school, get called lazy, inattentive, disruptive? Is your child not fulfilling his or her fullest potential -- academically, socially, emotionally?

As a registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor with extensive expertise (6+ years), I lead T1S (Transforming Lives One Session At A Time), a thriving international practice. My specialties include addiction, depression, CBT, relationship counselling, and overall wellness for adults & children. Additionally I offer guidance on financial struggles, family dynamics and personal growth. Together, we can Transform Your Life One Session At A Time. I also do T1S Groups where 7 people come together and we have a group session together.

I am fascinated by the human psyche, the potential for change and the resilience that we display in the face of life's difficulties. This is what initially drew me to studying Psychology and it is my passion that keeps me in this field. I am passionate about assisting people, empowering them with insight and knowledge to cope with challenges; bearing witness to their challenges but also their strengths and helping them develop a more balanced view of themselves. I have an interest in assisting with the following: anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, stress management, grief and career guidance and assessments.

Many people reach a point in their lives where existing ways of coping no longer work. We are mistakenly led to believe that a frenzy of activity will quiet our unrest; however what lies beneath is a range of psychological challenges such as depression, overwhelming stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Maria is a culturally sensitive Registered Counsellor based in Cape Town, South Africa. Her psychology skill set is enriched by her experience working as a counsellor at a local high school and as a group facilitator and research assistant at the Alan J Flisher Center for Public Mental Health at UCT, where she assisted children and adolescents battling depressive and anxious symptoms. While she has a soft spot for working with youth, her adaptability and expertise shine in working with a diverse population. Growing up as a third culture kid and working overseas for several years has given Maria a rich understanding of diversity.

I work in private practice offering psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults navigating life's challenges.

Life as we know it is challenging – it’s hard! The future seems uncertain, security one thought you had isn’t so secure anymore. Constant stress and past trauma(s) may leave one feeling alone, confused, burnt out, lost, stuck, or that it all has become too much. The constant change and financial struggles seem to be ever-increasing. All (or some) of this leads to anxiety, depression, and feelings that leave us feeling helpless and even hopeless. It also skews the way that we perceive others and our surroundings. You are not alone, there is help at hand!

I provide a safe space, where you can feel heard and understood. I am a big advocate for mental health and breaking the stigma. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength as you have admitted that you need assistance... You are not alone. My services are also offered in Afrikaans. My dienste is ook beskikbaar in Afrikaans.

Stuck, cry of helplessness, overwhelmed by emotions(a dark place), no hope?

It is part of life’s journey to go through difficult, and painful moments. During such times we may find ourselves feeling lost, confused and alone. This can be as a result of multiple causes such as the loss of a loved one, a relationship breakup or divorce, childhood trauma, anxiety, academic problems, substance abuse, parenting difficulties and depression. Learning how to get through these dark moments is a healthy life process.In therapy I will provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgmental and empathetic space that will enable you to realise your inner resilience.

I enjoy working with all ages, races, ethnicities and genders/sexualities of our diverse populations in a South African context. I enjoy working with adolescents and children deemed “problematic” by their respective teachers or caretakers. I screen for mental health issues that may need assessment and accurate referral by offering supportive information regarding concerns that may arise.

I am mostly a systems theorist. I believe if we can heal the system that impact you (past, present, family, health, spirituality, trauma, relationships) you will be able to move at your own healthy pace toward strength and victory. I work attachment-based as I believe our family or origin is the classroom where we were taught how to do life and relationships.

We explore new, healthy coping strategies and self-help techniques when our clients want to overcome what negatively affects their mental well-being for stressful life situations, and personal growth. We offer support to clients suffering from traumatic incidents such as loss/grief support, depressed mood, exposure to sexual and other assault, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress and life-threatening illnesses. Therapy for little ones aged 5 – 12, who might be suffering from challenges such as loss and grief, bullying, exposure to trauma, fears, low self-esteem or anger management difficulties.

In practice, I work from an eclectic approach as I have found therapeutic flexibility to be helpful in meeting my patients’ needs. My therapeutic approach mainly draws initially from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Insight-Oriented and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). If need be, I will use other modalities.
