Maria Tontcheva

Professional Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of psychological and relational difficulties.

About Me

My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, blending psychological depth, compassion and professionalism. I am registered in the UK and Switzerland, and work integratively to help you explore the different parts of your inner world, reconnect with your potential and inner wisdom, and support meaningful change.

Approach

With me, you can explore any cognitive and behavioural patterns that may be holding you back — patterns that might be preventing you from recognising your inner strength, wisdom, and unique qualities. Together, we can look at the influence of your background, upbringing, relationships, and personal development. We may also explore the possibility of meaningful change — change that’s aligned with your values and rooted in what truly matters to you. My approach is grounded in Psychosynthesis and shaped by warmth, acceptance, and curiosity. I integrate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), drawing on a range of tailored techniques — including mindfulness, Gestalt practices, breath and somatic work, and creative methods such as drawing and guided imagery. Above all, my priority is to offer a supportive, reflective, and empathetic space where you feel heard and understood, and where greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth can emerge.
