Maria Pencheva

Maria Pencheva is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem challenges, confidence concerns, and depression, meeting each individual with respect for their own expertise about their life.

She understands that seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process. Maria combines a responsible and enthusiastic approach with deep empathy, aiming to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and honestly.

Her practice is person-centred and grounded in empathy - she listens carefully, meets people where they are, and collaborates to find a path forward that feels right for each person. In sessions she brings warmth, openness, and curiosity, and sees her role as walking alongside clients as they work toward clearer emotional regulation, greater self-confidence, and a stronger sense of meaning and purpose.

Maria draws on a background in counselling and positive psychology, and her previous experience as an interpreter, advocate, and business manager has helped her relate to people from diverse backgrounds. She values connection, clear communication, and lifelong learning, and her consistent goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and capable of making the changes they want to see in their lives. Together, she aims not only to address current challenges but also to build a future that feels authentic and fulfilling.
