Maria Rocha, BACP

Maria Rocha is a qualified counsellor, clinical transpersonal regressive hypnotherapist and supervisor who brings a broad therapeutic background to her work. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates her affiliation with a recognised professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Rooted in a spiritual perspective, Maria believes in human connectedness and the idea that life offers opportunities for growth and greater self-awareness. She holds that personal development can involve learning how to be happier by cultivating conscious awareness of oneself, relationships, and the wider world.

Maria uses an integrative approach that draws on a range of established methods to match the needs of each person. Her practice incorporates therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. This variety allows her to explore current difficulties, trace them back to underlying roots, support healing where it is needed, and strengthen an individual’s sense of identity.

She works to address challenges across physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions, helping people understand what is happening in their lives and build the skills to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
