Emotional Intelligence Coaching for Students and Adults with Qualified Counsellor Maria

Hi, I’m Maria. I have a background in Psychology and Business Psychology, and I’m also a qualified counsellor with experience supporting people through stress, uncertainty, change and personal challenges. My approach is warm, supportive and person-centred. I want students to feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions and talking openly about what they are finding difficult. I won’t tell you what you should do or expect you to have everything figured out. Instead, we can work together to understand what you need and find approaches that work for you. I can support you to develop skills such as: • Confidence and self-belief • Motivation and focus • Organisation and planning • Time management • Study routines and habits • Goal-setting • Managing stress and overwhelm • Self-awareness and emotional awareness • Problem-solving and decision-making • Communication skills • Resilience and adaptability • Breaking larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps • Preparing for change and transitions Our sessions can be used to talk through what is getting in the way, explore different ways of approaching things and identify practical steps that feel achievable. You can expect our sessions to be relaxed, supportive and focused on you. We’ll take things at your pace, without judgement, and work together to help you feel more confident and capable in your studies and everyday life. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we start. You can simply come as you are, and we can take it from there.
