Welcome to
The Therapeutic Space
My name is Dr. Maria Guiñazu
I am a Counselling Psychologist registered with HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council), BPS (British Psychological Society) Chartered Psychologist, accredited psychotherapist with BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and Clinical Psychologist trained in Argentina. I am also a clinical supervisor on the BPS register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAAPS).
I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) practitioner so can support people who would like to process overwhelming memories.
I work mainly with adults, couples, families and I also facilitate group therapy. I have some limited spaces for teenagers. I am based in Brighton but I work in South London as well.
My approach intersects existential psychotherapy and somatic psychology. I’m passionate about looking at a wide variety of tools that might suit you towards growth, healing, transformation and embodied presence. I am curious about how you (and your partner) see the world, what matters to you (and the couple), and how you are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually.
My work is focused on the relationship between body, emotions, thoughts and imagination. As an additional resource, if you are interested in creative writing, drawing or movement, we can explore a world beyond verbal communication.
