MARIA ARTAZA

Committed, compassionate and warm | Relationship & Anxiety Specialist

​

Maria is an experienced, compassionate and highly skilled therapist working with individuals and couples. She is particularly sought after for her expertise in supporting those in crisis, offering steady, thoughtful support to those who feel stuck, disconnected or in significant distress.

​

Maria takes an integrative approach with a strong foundation in systemic thinking. This means she looks not only at individual thoughts and emotions, but also at the wider relational patterns, family dynamics and life contexts that shape connections and how you might be behaving or reacting today. By identifying and gently challenging these patterns, she helps her clients move away from self-sabotaging behaviours, cycles of conflict, misunderstanding or withdrawal and towards change, development and enhanced communication.

​

Maria is well-versed in working with couples navigating communication breakdown, loss of trust or intimacy, recurring conflict, parenting pressures, major life transitions, affairs or betrayals, emotional distance, stress tolerance, split agendas, where one partner may be unsure whether to continue the relationship, and/or couples in acute or severe relationship crisis.

​

Maria is experienced in holding space when emotions run high and conversations feel difficult. She remains calm, structured and balanced, ensuring her clients feel heard while helping them move toward constructive dialogue or change. Her work supports her clients to understand the underlying dynamics driving their conflict or unease, while rebuilding emotional safety, and making thoughtful, informed decisions about their future.

​

Maria is also sought-out by individuals experiencing anxiety, career uncertainty, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, identity concerns and periods of uncertainty or change. She recognises how relational experiences — past and present — shape confidence, emotional wellbeing and patterns of attachment.​

​

Maria excels in supporting her clients through major life transitions - whether through relocations and overseas moves, changes through bereavement or loss, struggles with identity, or changes in  life plans due to health or life circumstances.

​

Clients value Maria’s warmth, depth and clarity. She offers empathy and safety, while helping clients look honestly at the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.​

If you are seeking specialist therapy or relationship counselling in London — whether you're in crisis or wanting to strengthen your connection or wellbeing — Maria could be a great fit.
