Maria Levenfiche , BACP

Maria Levenfiche is a UK-licensed therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. She works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own life and brings strengths that can be mobilized to overcome present challenges. With an emphasis on collaboration, Maria aims to empower clients to take the brave first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life rather than prescribing one fixed path.

Her approach centers on listening carefully to each person and helping them identify practical strategies and new ways of understanding their experiences. Maria creates a supportive space where clients can explore difficult emotions and patterns, build on existing resources, and develop the skills needed to pursue change. She encourages realistic, sustainable progress and accompanies clients as they work toward the goals that matter most to them.

Maria welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and is available to work with clients internationally. Although she is not currently accepting new clients, her practice reflects a commitment to thoughtful, strength-based care for those coping with complex emotional and relational issues.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Maria draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a client brings. Trauma-informed approaches focus on understanding how past hurt and abuse affect present feelings and behaviours, helping people process painful memories and rebuild a sense of safety and agency. Relationship and family-focused work explores interaction patterns, communication, and roles within partnerships or families to reduce conflict and strengthen connections. Skills-based interventions for stress and anxiety teach practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions, improving focus, and coping with daily pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She prioritizes shared decision-making so clients can try strategies that feel relevant and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, and other commitments and allow clients to engage with licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining consistent, ongoing support.
