Maria Billington

My goal is to help you learn how to break circular thinking patterns, find the answers to your own issues and problems and support you to grow as an individual both personally and professionally. Using a range of different tools and activities that help draw out where your struggles are and help you keep accountable and moving forwards with positivity and action.

As I take a people centric approach to my work I tailor each set of sessions to the individual dependant on their needs and their abilities. However all sessions will include a check in and settling in time, progression update, listening and questioning time, actions and tasks setting and session feedback. These will form the core of each session but will be added to as necessary. Some examples of the kinds of additional activities can include: Creative tasks to support learning about emotions, working out personal strengths and weaknesses, creative prompts, mindfulness prompts or activities.

I have worked for the past 10 years supporting community members to reach their potential using a range of creative activities, action learning and one to one support. This has enabled my community business to thrive and support over 280 volunteers, many moving onto self employment or further training opportunities. I am also experienced with working with neuro diverse young people and adults including autism and ADHD, helping them to understand how to use their diagnosis as a learning tool for developing their personal super powers and break down the feelings and thoughts of not being good enough or having to be perfect all the time.
