Welcome to Maria the therapist’s website

Before qualifying as a Hypnotherapist, I worked as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) within the NHS, where I have had more than thirty years of clinical experience. It was during this time that I became aware of the effect of mind on the body and vice versa and developed a great interest as to how this is.

I followed my ambition to develop a deeper knowledge of mind and body connection and to learn the skills to help others in this way. To this end I completed courses in both Clinical and Analytical Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Counselling Skills and theory.  I achieved these qualifications with the Contemporary College of Therapeutics, a well established London based training school.

I help clients with a range of conditions including weight loss management, smoking, irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), anxieties, phobias, fears, behavioural problems, self esteem and self confidence to name but a few.

I have consistently enhance my skills and knowledge through continuous professional development and have successfully completed a Certificate in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment by Gut Orientated Metaphor with the College of Integrated Therapies, a well researched method for treatment of this debilitating condition. Other additional training includes enhancement of skills to work with weight loss and smoking cessation with John Dewar School of Hypnosis and also with Luca Senatore (MindBand) a well know NLP Coach, Hypnotherapist and Trainer from Cambridge, to developed a greater depth and breadth of skill in the use of hypnotic gastric band (virtual gastric band) methodology.

I practice at Cedar House Clinic, Shrewsbury Business Park. The clinic is a welcoming professional environment where I can offer my clients a confidential service and there is ample free parking.
