About Maria Marchant Therapy
My Approach
I’m an integrative accredited BACP Psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner, and clinical supervisor with over ten years of experience supporting people through stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and periods of change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‑based practice.
We begin with a focused assessment to understand what’s been happening for you and what you’d like to change. Together, we develop a clear plan that feels manageable and meaningful, drawing on EMDR, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy depending on what will best support you.
Sessions blend practical tools for stabilisation and emotional regulation with targeted therapeutic work. This may involve short‑term, goal‑focused interventions or deeper exploration when you’re ready. I offer in‑person and secure remote appointments, flexible scheduling, and a consistent commitment to confidentiality and clinical care.
My aim is to help you feel more grounded, think more clearly, and navigate relationships with greater confidence and trust, so you can move forward with resilience and a renewed sense of direction.

My child and adolescent therapy services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges - including anxiety, depression, behavioural issues and more. I use evidence-based techniques to support children and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxed focus, experienced in daydreaming and before sleep. There are various approaches to hypnotherapy and methods of inducing a hypnotic state. I work with both scripts and control practitioner techniques.
Typically, a discussion will take place between myself and my client to establish the desired outcomes.
Individuals are always in control during hypnosis and are not obligated to accept any suggestions presented by the therapist. It is essential to have a willingness to participate in hypnosis for it to be effective.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps the brain process painful or overwhelming experiences so they feel less distressing over time. You’ll be gently invited to bring a memory to mind while focusing on rhythmic movements- like tapping or eye movements - that support your natural healing process.
You don’t need to talk in detail. EMDR works by helping your mind make sense of what happened, so the memory loses its emotional charge and becomes easier to live with. Many people describe feeling lighter, clearer, or more at peace after EMDR.
