Maria Stride

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi, I’m Maria, and I’m a person-centred counsellor with six years of experience supporting people through trauma, hardship, and mental health challenges. I believe that each person’s story is unique, and my role is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.

My approach is warm, empathic, and down-to-earth. I work collaboratively, supporting you in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful to you, rather than following a rigid method or expectation. I understand that talking about difficult experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I also incorporate creative techniques such as art and play therapy to help express feelings that might be hard to put into words.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, lost, or ready to explore new possibilities, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people. One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different match they can switch to another therapist at any time. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy make it a practical and effective choice.
