Maria Lazopoulou, BACP
About me
I am a Transpersonal Arts Counsellor with over 8 years of experience.
I have worked with adults addressing themes of trauma, PTSD, chronic depression/anxiety, self harm and end of life support.
My style combines anthroposophic principles when assessing clients' needs and person centred/humanistic approach when in practise.
I am a firm believer that addressing our mental health is paramount if we want to maintain good physical health. To look after ones soul is to look after ones body. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and health, I promise to be there every step of the way to guide, support and empower you.
My preferable option would be video call but I can also do phone messaging and live-chat if this feels safer for the client.

Maria is very professional and is capable of helping me putting my feeling into words.
She understands and validates my feeling, I feel very safe with her. And she is able to professionally enlighten me with new insight which helps me understand more about myself.
I didn’t like going to therapy previous with other therapists but Maria has made it easy and judgement-free - changed my perception on therapy.

Maria has been incredibly helpful and kind to me whilst I have navigated a really difficult point in my life. She listened attentively and helped me to reframe so many things in my mind with a healthy approach and mindset. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a therapist, I feel very fortunate to have had her expertise to guide me and have felt very comfortable to open up and be vulnerable in her presence. She listens with softness and does not judge, and she is able to accurately pull together parts of the puzzle to paint a clearer picture. Some of the complexities I have been working through which she has helped with - family dynamics / family crisis / moving on from romantic relationships / self blame, doubt & criticism. Thank you Maria, i'll be forever grateful.
