Maria Levenfiche offers support for common and painful life problems. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship struggles, family problems, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and self esteem. She also works with concerns such as eating and body image, ADHD, grief, career pressures, and fertility or fatherhood questions.
Maria takes a straightforward and respectful approach in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and down-to-earth, focused on small steps that make daily life easier. Her background includes eight years working in the UK as a counsellor and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has covered a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties.
Maria aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through without being judged. Sessions with Maria tend to blend problem-solving with reflective conversation. She listens for patterns that keep difficulties repeating and then works with each person to try different ways of responding.
This can include looking at how past relationships affect current choices and how everyday routines influence mood. Maria offers a supportive, steady presence during change. She encourages practical experiments between sessions and checks progress together.
Her style is warm, direct and focused on helping people feel more in control of their lives.
Practical therapy methods and flexible online care
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach is problem-focused work that looks at current thoughts and behaviours, helping people try new ways of responding to stress, anxiety and addictive urges. Another strand involves looking at attachment and relationship patterns, which helps when past hurts shape how someone connects with others and affects intimacy or family interactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different techniques and decide together which methods feel most helpful. This means the work can shift over time to match changing needs and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful, phone sessions can fit into a short break or reduce bandwidth needs, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family or travel commitments and to choose what feels most comfortable for each session.
