More about Maria
- 10 years' experience

- ACA
I am a registered counsellor in Australia with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. I work with adolescents, young adults, and families, helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a genuine respect for each person’s unique story.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I use evidence based approaches of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and trauma-informed frameworks. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. I believe therapy should be practical and meaningful, so I focus on building insight while also equipping clients with strategies they can use in their everyday lives.
I bring a culturally sensitive and inclusive perspective to my work. I am fluent in Gujarati and Hindi and can offer sessions in this language for clients who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in it.
Ultimately, my goal is to walk alongside my clients in therapy as they build resilience, develop self-awareness, and move towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
