Hi, I’m Maria—welcome, and thank you for being here. 

Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Just taking this first step shows strength and a willingness to invest in yourself—and that’s something to be proud of. 

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role as a counsellor is to walk alongside you—to listen without judgment, help you explore your thoughts and emotions, and support you in finding solutions that truly resonate with you. 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centred. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children, supporting each unique journey toward greater connection, clarity, and emotional well-being. Whether you're navigating personal challenges, relationship dynamics, or family issues, I’m here to help create a space where open communication and healing can take place. 

For children, I focus on creating a safe and engaging environment where they can express themselves and develop tools for emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. For couples and families, I support you in strengthening relationships, improving communication, and working through conflict in a respectful and constructive way. 

Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and uncover meaningful ways forward—guided by your values, goals, and lived experiences. Change begins with being seen and supported just as you are. 

Welcome to Voytas Counselling. I look forward to working with you.
