About me

I am Maria Lee, a bilingual British-Argentine counsellor, coach and psychotherapist based in Barcelona offering sessions in English or Spanish. I have previously worked within IAPT and other NHS Mental Health services in the UK and now offer open ended psychotherapy to clients. 

​

I work with individuals and couples both online and face to face, and have worked with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties including perinatal mental health, relationship problems, trauma, mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), identity issues and self esteem.

​

I am a Trauma informed integrative psychotherapist specialising in Transactional Analysis and I bring together different aspects of my training and experience to find the best way of working with each individual or couple. 

​

Through therapy we co-create a relationship, and I endeavour to use this as a vehicle for understanding other significant relationships in your life. 

​

You will find my approach to be relaxed and caring, and with my support I hope to encourage you to be the catalyst for change in your own life.

Testimonials

“Working with Maria was life changing for me. Maria is an exceptionally clever person and is truly an expert in what she’s doing. For me, her committed professionalism combined with genuine care was critical for obtaining the growth and understanding of myself that I did through the therapy. I have a feeling that Maria has a unique capacity to identify core issues within a person’s inner self and an equally unique capacity to guide every person to find her or his own ways of growing and developing healthy relationships with yourself and with others. At least this is what she did for me and I am forever grateful.”

"The sessions with Maria made a huge difference in my life at a time when I really needed it.  She helped me understand myself deeply, and gave me the support and tools I needed to make a change. Maria was incredibly professional and caring throughout the process and I will always be grateful to her."

"Working with Maria has been truly life-changing. After struggling to find the right therapist, Maria’s unique approach, expertise, and deep empathy were a breath of fresh air. Her guidance has profoundly transformed my life, and I wouldn’t be half the person I am today without her support."

"I started therapy for the first time with Maria. I was apprehensive to start the process but within a couple of sessions, Maria had made me feel safe to begin sharing and processing in a way I had never been able to previously. I am so grateful for the safety, support and challenge Maria was able to provide for me. I worked together with Maria for three years and I learnt so much about myself and how I relate to others throughout the process. Maria is incredibly warm, caring and knowledgeable. She guided me through our work together at just the right pace - offering support, challenge and new frameworks just when I needed them. I couldn't recommend Maria more highly."
