About Maria
Maria Mina begins with a straightforward aim: to make starting therapy feel easier. She offers a calm, honest way of talking so people can name what is holding them back and decide what they want to change.
Maria holds an NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS, and she draws on four years of experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.
How Maria works
Sessions are a space to reflect, sort out priorities and take practical steps. She explains things plainly and works at a pace that suits each person. Maria combines different therapeutic ways of working to match individual needs rather than using the same method for everyone.
This means conversations can range from problem-solving and coaching to exploring emotions and patterns that repeat in life. She has worked outside therapy too, including senior roles in human resources where she focused on fair and caring workplace cultures. Maria also contributes as an approved therapist for Anxiety UK and volunteers with the mental health charity Mind.
People commonly come to her with stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, low self-esteem, anger, career worries and the challenge of life changes. She helps them clarify goals and build practical coping steps they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in simple, practical ways. One common approach involves helping people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage. Another approach focuses on problem-solving and coaching to set clear goals, break tasks into small steps and build routines that support daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals, and she adapts methods over time if something is not helping. This makes therapy a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments while staying consistent with therapeutic goals.
