Über mich
I’m Maria, a relationship and clinical psychologist with training in systemic therapy. I help neurodivergent individuals, couples, and those in polyamorous, open relationships, or facing non-normative life challenges. I also work with individuals with ADHD and those navigating health-related issues.
My approach is deeply shaped by my experiences as a neurodivergent expat, poly partner, and mother. I understand how vital it is to have a space where you can reconnect in a loving way, with yourself or with others, especially when life feels overwhelming or disconnected. Here, you are met with warmth, curiosity, and compassion, allowing you to face your challenges at your own pace. While I hold that space, we safely explore difficult topics, change unhelpful patterns, in your relationship with yourself or with others, and work toward rebuilding deeper connections, teamwork, and mutual understanding, no matter the challenges.
Who I work with:
- Couples facing challenges in maintaining intimacy and healthy communication in relationships, reconnecting, transitioning to family life, parents navigating complex situations while creating secure, meaningful bonds with their children
- Couples or families during separation or divorce
- Neurodivergent individuals and couples, especially those with ADHD, help with the diagnosis process
- Polyamorous and ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) individuals and couples
- LGBTQ+ clients seeking a safe space to explore their relationships and identities
- Individuals facing new diagnosis, health challenges, chronic conditions, infertility or trauma
- Health issues, trauma, depression, addiction
How to start working with me:
Please reach out to schedule a suitable for you time for the free intro call, full session or to ask any questions you might have.
No personal details or paperwork are required upfront.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

Ansatz
Behandlungsansätze
FamilientherapieEmpfohlen für Familien, die Konflikte lösen, ihre Kommunikation verbessern und einander in der Familiendynamik besser verstehen wollen.
GruppentherapieEmpfohlen für diejenigen, die ihre Herausforderungen in einer Gruppe angehen möchten und in einem sozialen Kontext unterstützend von anderen lernen wollen, die ähnliches erlebt haben.
Systemische TherapieEmpfohlen für diejenigen, die verstehen möchten, wie ihre Beziehungen und ihr Umfeld das Verhalten und die Emotionen beeinflussen, insbesondere innerhalb von Familien- oder Organisationssystemen.
Rooted in systemic therapy, my approach views individuals and relationships through a holistic lens, focusing on how dynamics, communication patterns, and life contexts shape experience and growth. I work from a place of curiosity, emphasizing clients' strengths and resources rather than deficits. I believe symptoms often carry meaning within a broader system, and by understanding these patterns, my clients can gain deeper insight and foster meaningful change.
Counseling with me is a collaborative process: together, we’ll build emotional safety in your life and relationships, slow down when necessary, and find practical ways to create real change. I specialize in health and work with both body and mind, understanding that they are interconnected.
I primarily use homework as a tool to facilitate growth between sessions, allowing you to reflect, practice, and make progress at your own pace. My approach is holistic, incorporating tailored methods to suit your unique needs. Above all, I focus on providing emotional support, holding a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore difficult topics, face challenges with compassion, and work toward rebuilding the relationships you truly desire.
I am committed to trust, ethical standards, and strict confidentiality, ensuring a space where you feel seen, supported, and heard.
Additionally, I specialise in dynamic relationship structures and offer group support and events for those navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, polyamory, and other relationship dynamics.
