Maria Barletta, BACP

Maria Barletta is a United Kingdom based counsellor and psychotherapist who brings an integrative perspective to her clinical work. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and codependency, communication and control issues, loneliness and isolation, infidelity and jealousy, career and life-purpose questions, and multicultural matters.

Maria combines elements from client-centered, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. When suitable, she incorporates guided meditations, visualisations and psycho-imaginative techniques to help clients access new perspectives and practical steps forward. She emphasises understanding the personal motivations and patterns that maintain painful symptoms so that change can be sustained over time.

Therapy with Maria is collaborative and goal-focused - she works with clients to clarify their priorities and develop a plan that fits their situation. She offers services in English and Spanish and supports people seeking help with relationship, work, and life-transition challenges from a compassionate, pragmatic stance.
