Dr Maria Thompson
Counseling Psychologist
“Consultant counselling psychologist with 26 years experience offering psychological and counselling services for adults and older adults.”
About Me
Approach
The approaches I utilise are tailored to the specific needs of each client. I tend to adopt an integrative approach which works with the person in a holistic manner. I have received training and prefers to utilize CBT, DBT, Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches. I am also a fully qualified and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner (EMDR is one of the treatment approaches recommended by NICE for the treatment of PTSD).
I consider continuing professional development as a central component to maintaining competence in my clinical work. As such I attend training each year which is designed to meet the needs of my current and future clinical work.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
I assist adults and older adults to reduce distress, improve awareness, connection, functioning and QoL through face-to-face and online counselling and psychological therapy. You can explore and address your concerns safely with session materials to take away for future reference. I offer evidenced approaches. Since 1998 I have worked with many people in their recovery from a range of emotional, behavioural, personality and mental health issues across various settings to Consultant level. Hopefully, I maybe of assistance to you also.
