Maria Dimitreli, a therapist sitting next to a window

I work with hypnotherapy, energy healing, meditation, and talking therapy to support people slow down, feel safe, and get to the root of what’s really going on beneath the surface.

My background is in psychology, and I’ve spent years working in corporate wellbeing, so I understand how stress, pressure and overthinking can build up over time. Alongside that, I’ve trained in systemic and family work, which really shaped the way I see things - that we’re not separate from our experiences, and there’s always a deeper layer worth exploring.

For the past five years, I’ve been guiding people through meditation and hypnotherapy, supporting them to ground themselves, release fear and past trauma, and reconnect with who they are underneath it all. I’ve had the honour of witnessing people shift, let go of heaviness, and move in a completely different direction in their lives.

I believe in gently finding the root, building trust, and creating a space where you can feel safe enough to shift, in your own way and at your own pace.

Because when that sense of safety is there, things start to open up and change becomes possible.

Services

Counselling Session

I offer integrative counselling with a pluralistic approach, meaning our work together is shaped around your individual needs and what feels most supportive for you. Sessions are client-led and provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what you are going through. I work with empathy, warmth, and compassion, supporting you at your own pace. I have a particular interest in the growing years, family dynamics, and family systems, and how our experiences and relationships can influence the way we feel, think, and relate to ourselves and others.

£65.00


Hypnotherapy Session

We begin with gentle relaxation to help you feel safe; once deeply relaxed, I work with your subconscious on your issue and goals. You remain in control and aware throughout, accepting only suggestions that align with your values. My role is be the facilitator between you and your subconscious. I use inner child, regression, Gestalt, and other techniques. It is my belief that dealing with the cause rather than the symptom has a long-lasting beneficial result.

60–75 minutes - £75.00


Reiki Session

A deeply calming energy healing session designed to support your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. During this personalised treatment, Reiki energy is gently channelled to restore balance within your energy field, helping to release stagnant energy, soothe the nervous system, and bring your body back into harmony. You can expect to leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more centred.

1 hour - £65.00


Therapeutic Support Sessions

These extended 90-minute sessions are designed to offer deeper emotional support and restoration, combining a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs. Each session is shaped around what you are experiencing in the present moment and may include elements of talking therapy, guided meditation, breathwork, therapeutic trance techniques, and Reiki. The combination of approaches used will depend on what feels supportive and appropriate for you. These sessions can help with stress release, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, inner tension, reconnecting with yourself, or working through a particular issue in a gentle and supportive way. The space is calm, compassionate, and non-judgemental, allowing you time to slow down, reflect, process emotions, and feel supported as you navigate what you are going through.

1,5 hour - £95.00
