"She is very pleasant person and she helped me lots...very calm and she will listen what you have to say and then she will advise you and explain to you in the best way possible! After the first session I was feeling better and I feel I have done a big progress about myself with her help! We had 2 sessions but we ended as I was feeling ok and I am moving in London but anytime when I will feel anxious I won't hesitate to contact her again. Maria is very friendly and she will talk with you like a real friend and you will feel her very close and you wont hesitate to tell her everything about your feelings! Thank you so so much Maria!"
