Maria-Christina Kosteli

I am a a BACP registered counsellor, a BPS accredited psychologist and EuroPsy registered. I have a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Counselling Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. My training is in person-centred therapy but I also incorporate elements of CBT. I am adjusting my approach based on the needs of the client. I always try to incorporate methods and techniques that are most appropriate for you.

I have extensive clinical experience having worked with clients in a variety of different settings. At the moment I am teaching Psychology at the University and I offer online counselling in the evenings. I provide counselling and support to anyone who feels overwhelmed and is having a hard time. The goal is to help you reach self-understanding and encourage you to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that requires participation and investment from you. In your sessions with me you will be offered empathy, a non-judgemental environment, warmth, unconditional positive regard and understanding. If you are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, low mood, lack of purpose, bereavement, low self-esteem, I can help you. My aim is to help you become the best version of yourself.

I have expertise working with bereavement and loss. I have a special interest in working with women who have experienced pregnancy related issues such as a miscarriage or baby loss, or couples who experience infertility and have a hard time conceiving. I also offer seminars in stress management and mental skills training.
