My name is Marya, I am a fully qualified and BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and an accredited IPT therapist.

I am also trained as a Long-Term Conditions therapist and have a Masters in Health Psychology, meaning I work therapeutically with individuals who are struggling to manage the impact of health problems such as chronic fatigue and Long Covid.

I have almost a decade's worth of experience working in mental health services including within the NHS where I have treated wide-ranging difficulties, including: 
- Adapting to and living with the consequences of long-term illness (e.g. chronic fatigue, IBS, etc).
- PTSD
- Poor self-esteem and difficulties in relationships (conflict, struggling to maintain relationships)
- Bereavement
- Dealing with transitions/change

There is no 'one size fits all' model to therapy.  Treatment is about assessing and understanding what the issues may be before looking at any change. Change sometimes involves learning practical ways to manage and other times it may be processing thoughts and feelings.
