The Strength Within Counselling was founded by the psychotherapist Maria Kalinina who personally believes that "no problem is too great or too small". We believe that therapeutic interventions should be nuanced specifically to the individual's needs. Symptomatology can give us an idea of your daily struggles and we use this as a guide, however, we tailor our care plans to the person in front of us, the human rather than the symptoms. ​

​

You might be feeling unsure how to move forward, or finding that past experiences continue to affect how you feel in the present. For some, this shows up as anxiety, low mood, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.

​

We offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what's going on for you at your own pace. Our approach is thoughtful and collaborative, helping you to better understand your experiences and find ways to move forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.

​

 

 

 

We draw on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. This includes working with thoughts and emotions, as well as how experiences are held in the body. 

​

Our work can support you in developing greater awareness, processing past experiences, and building a stronger sense of connection to yourself and others in the present, as well as reducing symptoms.
