About
Maria Stride is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience supporting people through trauma, hardship, and a range of mental health challenges.
She offers a calm, compassionate space where each person can explore what is happening for them at their own pace. Her manner is warm, empathic, and down-to-earth, and she works collaboratively to support clients in ways that feel meaningful rather than following a fixed method.
Recognising that talking about difficult experiences can feel overwhelming, Maria also uses creative approaches such as art and play therapy to help express emotions that may be hard to put into words. Whether someone feels stuck, lost, or ready to explore new possibilities, she accompanies them with care and understanding.
