Maria Wallgren, ACA

Maria Wallgren approaches therapy with an emphasis on empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental stance that supports clients as they work through life challenges. She draws from a holistic, person-centred foundation and blends an eclectic set of techniques to shape a practical, creative, and inclusive plan tailored to each individual. Her work prioritizes a warm therapeutic relationship where clients are treated as the experts of their own lives while receiving guidance and reflective support from a trained professional.

Maria has worked across the corporate, private, higher education, psychiatric, and not-for-profit sectors in Australia and Europe, both in counselling roles and in related capacities. She focuses on working with adults and brings a strong interest in cultural diversity, transnational counselling, and efforts to reduce stigma around mental health. Areas she commonly supports include stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, alongside concerns like communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace issues.

She holds ACA, a professional counselling credential, and brings seven years of experience to her practice. Maria sees it as a privilege to help people reflect on their stories and to support them as they continue to shape and move forward in their lives.
