As a practitioner Maria Moore has had a very diverse and interesting practice.  This ranges from more acute emotional disorders at Therapeutic Communities to motivational issues in a Private Fleet Street Practice.

Maria has worked with individuals, couples,  families, groups and organisations.  She has an interest in exploring different perspectives and a focus on relational material from individual communicational tools to work systems and different personality adaptation styles.

Maria considers her career journey as being positively impacted by her working relationship with Jenny Robinson; a pioneer in the field of psychotherapy and a past owner of a therapeutic community for emotionally disturbed clients.  Maria stayed here for 10 years and created the path which she has since taken to her private practice.  This has informed the work which is relationally based.  Treatment is bespoke, as individuals are seen as unique and intrinsically valued.

Jenny Robinson style of “walking the walk” and working with guts and integrity for the duration of her career had a huge influence on Maria's work as she has also “walked the walk” rather than just “talking the talk”.  This has enabled her to stay open to new interventions and use intuition to see where all specialised treatment plans need to go.  Maria appreciates the importance of deploying the knowledge gained from a career spanning more than 20 years.

The wonder of seeing individuals develop and grow has always been at the forefront of her reason to continue with this work.  This far outweighs any agonies that have been experienced in what is often about dealing with human emotional pain.  Through any mire or suffering there is a potential to grow from what one learns from the experience.  This is if one makes the choice to do so.  If one does then Maria will go the extra mile to make sure that the process of development and evolving is supported appropriately.

Maria believes in a pro-active approach to each individual creating a forward momentum so that progress can be seen.  It's important to prioritise your emotional wellbeing, thus improving clarity, developing emotional literacy and gaining wisdom.  Her 20 years experience in psychology, psychotherapy, counselling in personal and work-related issues has served Maria's knowledge base well.

Maria holds qualifications in a Psychology Honours degree, Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling, Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Diploma in Supervision, and a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy.

Maria has held varied positions for Clinical Consultant and Director, assistant Psychologist, Supervisor and Managing Director across practices in Derbyshire, Birmingham and London.  She is a senior Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the United Kingdom of Psychotherapy and a member of the British Psychological Society.

She continues her diverse and successful and interesting career and has built up a personal business profile to encompass many diverse clients and services.  These may range from psychology, coaching, consultancy, personality profiling, with business clients and employees.

The  experience and knowledge gained in the field means she has had a paper published with Emerald with the Journal for International Therapeutic Communities.  She has constructed a useful communicational technique that is simple yet can deal with complex resolutions.  Maria has also written a book that includes Transactional Analysis and the 12 Steps in addiction.

Maria is a humble but potent practitioner who has been inspirational to many people.  This is due to her authentic love of people which makes her success rate very high.
