Maria Zakrzewska

I’m Maria, a relationship and clinical psychologist with training in systemic, EFT and narrative therapy

My approach is deeply shaped by my lived experience as a neurodivergent expat, poly partner, and mother of three. I understand how complex relationships can become, especially during life transitions, and when ADHD, anxiety, health challenges, or non-traditional relationship structures are part of the picture.

Whether you are a couple navigating communication breakdowns, new parents or parents facing difficulties, an ENM or poly partnership redefining boundaries, partners adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis, or individuals coping with anxiety or health-related stress, having a steady and compassionate space makes all the difference.

In our work together, you are met with warmth, curiosity, and respect. We move at your pace. I support couples in rebuilding emotional safety, strengthening communication, and developing practical tools for teamwork. Together, we explore patterns shaped by family of origin dynamics, neurodivergence, stress, trauma, or medical challenges to create understanding and open new ways of connecting. Holistically.

When anxiety, chronic illness, infertility, or new diagnoses affect your sense of stability, we focus on restoring grounding, nervous system regulation, clarity, and resilience, both individually and within your relationships.

No matter the structure of your relationship or the challenges you are facing, the goal remains the same: deeper connection, mind–body awareness, greater understanding, and a more secure and compassionate way of relating to yourself and to each other.

I primarily work with:
- Couples facing challenges in maintaining intimacy and healthy communication in relationships, reconnecting, transitioning to family life, facing fertility issues, parents navigating complex situations while creating secure, meaningful bonds with their children
- Couples or families during separation or divorce
- ENM/ Poly and Kink & BDSM communities
- LGBTQ+ clients seeking a safe space to explore their relationships and identities
- Individually and in a group setting with clients who face anxiety within a science-based framework "10- step anxiety programme"
- I do ADHD assessment and support individuals, couples and groups with ADHD and/or their families
- I help to navigate health-related issues, stress, trauma, depression and addiction
