Maria Guinazu

I am a Counselling Psychologist registered with HCPC (The Health and Care Professions Council), BPS (British Psychological Association) chartered Counselling Psychologist and an accredited psychotherapist with BACP. I was also trained as a psychologist in Argentina so I had to retrain as my training was not recognised in the UK. 

I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist so I can support people who would like to process overwhelming memories with this evidence model.

Throughout the years, I have completed a certificate on DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) from SDS, Polyvagal Theory in Therapy with Deb Dana and Internal Family Systems: A Step­ by­ Step Guide Through Clinical Applications of the IFS Model with Frank Anderson. In 2018, I trained at Tamalpa Institute in California with a focus on using the language of the arts (movement, drawing and writing) to explore personal and collective themes and promote the development of creative resources and artful communication. I also hold a certificate in Couples Therapy at Connexus Institute in Sussex as an alongside training to develop my skills when working with couples and families.

My work is focused on the relationship between body, emotions, thoughts and imagination. Grounded in the idea of holding a warm and non-judgmental space, I’m passionate about looking at a wide variety of tools that might suit you towards growth, healing, transformation and embodied presence. 

I work with adults, couples, families and teenagers. I also run groups or workshops, if you are interested please check my website. 

I have ten years of experience in working with children, teenagers and adults in the private, public and charity sectors, bringing innovative models to diverse populations in Argentina and in the UK. I also have worked with Sussex Police on a project funded by the Home Office to tackle complex domestic abuse.  

I offer sessions face to face or online in Spanish and English. 

My approach intersects somatic psychology, existential psychotherapy and I also integrate trauma-informed approaches as I described above. 

I am curious about how you see the world, what matters to you, and how you are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually to support you to embody a life that feels meaningful for you. 

When working with couples or families, I draw on systemic theory where I look at the system and its parts, and what is blocking them to build relationships that feel healthy and deeper. 

Before committing to it, we will meet for an initial meeting for you to tell me what you would like to work on or wish to explore. It will also help you get a sense of what therapy with me will be like. We will always review after an agreed period to see where you are in the process and where you would like to go.
