Maria Houston-Moore

Counselor

I offer a warm, open, relaxed, safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore anything you wish. I aim to help you feel comfortable, heard and accepted. I am a person-centred counsellor who weaves CBT skills through, in a blended approach.

About Me

I offer a warm, open space where you can feel truly heard and accepted. This relaxed environment lets you explore any concerns without judgment. As a person-centred counsellor, I blend our conversations with practical CBT skills. This approach helps you understand your thoughts and feelings more clearly. This blend suits clients ready to explore broad issues, who also seek actionable strategies.

Approach

My sessions move at your pace, balancing compassionate listening with practical steps so you can notice small changes between meetings. I see adults in Chester, Cheshire and run sessions in English, offering flexible online appointments for those who prefer remote work. We gently map patterns from anxiety, past abuse or career stress into manageable experiments and simple self-care practices, reviewing what helps and adapting together. People seeking clearer thinking alongside emotional support often find this steady, collaborative way helpful.
