Maria Palej, BACP, NCPS

Maria Palej is a United Kingdom based therapist who supports people facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges and the aftermath of trauma. With six years of clinical practice, she draws on a range of therapeutic models to tailor care to each person’s needs. Maria combines Client-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create an integrative approach that adapts to presenting concerns and individual preferences.

She works with clients encountering panic, depression and ongoing anxiety, as well as those recovering from abuse or moving on from abusive relationships. Maria also assists people who feel stuck and are seeking ways to move forward, addressing issues such as intimacy, addiction, family tensions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem and career difficulties. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment and communication problems, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and family of origin issues.

Maria holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a major UK counselling body, while NCPS indicates membership of a recognised professional counselling organisation. These affiliations reflect her training and commitment to professional standards.

Her working style emphasizes a non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients can explore practical ways to cope and make changes. The first session is an opportunity to meet Maria, explain what has brought someone to therapy, and ask questions about the process to decide whether to continue. Maria is not currently accepting new clients.
