Maria Guinazu

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'm a clinical psychologist from Argentina and also trained in movement-based expressive arts therapy at Tamalpa Institute in California. I’m an accredited member of the BACP  and currently finishing my doctorate in Counselling Psychology at NSCP/ Middlesex University. I also have certificate on DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) from SDS and I'm trained in using Polyvagal Theory in Therapy when there is a history of trauma. I'm also training as an EMDR therapist. 

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 the UK. I'm also working in a pilot project alongside the police on complex domestic abuse in Sussex. 

I offer sessions face to face, via Zoom or on the phone.

My approach intersects somatic psychology and existential psychotherapy. I am curious about how you see the world, what matters to you, and how you are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually.

As an additional resource, if you are interested in creative writing, drawing or movement, we can explore a world beyond conventional communication that might not be able to be expressed purely through verbal language. 

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
