Meet Maria
A trilingual mental health counsellor and therapist
Maria is a Level 3 Mental Health Counsellor registered with the Australian Counselling Association, working with adults and adolescents aged 15 and over. With extensive experience supporting individuals with ADHD and Autism, Maria is passionate about helping newly diagnosed or self-identifying clients understand, explore, and integrate their neurodivergent identity through a compassionate, affirming lens.
Drawing on a multicultural upbringing and lived experience, Maria also enjoys working with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds. She is dedicated to creating a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, inclusive, and culturally-sensitive space where all clients can feel seen, heard, and supported.
Maria's counselling style is grounded in self-development and personal growth. Whether or not a formal diagnosis is part of the journey, she focuses on each client’s unique experiences and strengths, supporting meaningful change through connection, self-awareness, and practical strategies that align with their goals.
Outside of counselling, Maria enjoys Pilates, Muay Thai, and spending time with family and friends. She can often be found curled up with her cat, Juice, and a medical drama playing in the background.
