Testimonials
"Maria has been my supervisor since 2018, from shortly after I commenced my CBT training and continuing during my time as a practitioner in the NHS.
At the start of my training I was nervous about showing video clips but Maria was so encouraging. She makes you feel at ease, always offering positive feedback about what I have done well with lots of constructive criticism and eliciting learning and discovery. Maria has really helped me grow and develop as a CBT therapist. Maria is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and incredibly supportive. I highly recommend her as a supervisor."
