About Maria Photiades

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a BSc in Psychology from London and an MSc in Clinical Psychology from Cyprus, dedicated to supporting the emotional and developmental wellbeing of children and adolescents.
Working with young people has always been my passion; I find immense joy in building trusting relationships, understanding their unique experiences, and guiding them through the challenges they may face.
What truly inspires me is witnessing their growth—seeing them gain confidence, develop new skills, and flourish into the very best version of themselves. Being part of their journey, even in small ways, is both a privilege and a responsibility that I hold with great care and enthusiasm.

A BIT ABOUT THERAPY

WHEN IT COMES TO PARENTING,
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.

While parenting is one of the greatest joys in life, it is also one of the most challenging. Parents are responsible for not only meeting their child’s physical and emotional needs, but also teaching them life skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors.
In case parenting isn’t already hard enough, there are many factors that can further complicate parenting. By placing additional complications on parenting, these factors can change the way parents relate to their children, the way children relate to their parents, and the way the entire family functions.
No two parents are alike and no two children are the same. Similarly, there is no single method of parenting advice specific to all environments. We offer personalized support in your parenting.

Guidance In Every Step of the Way

CHILD THERAPY

As a parent, it can be hard to know whether or not to be concerned about your child’s feelings or behaviors. You may be seeing things that make you worry that your child is struggling - but you aren’t quite sure what the problem is, or what kind of help your child needs.

Many children experience intense feelings that they struggle to understand and to process. This can lead to sadness, irritability, and difficulty in regulating their behaviors.

Whether your child is having difficulty following rules and directions in school, is experiencing tension with siblings or peers, or is finding it difficult to be flexible in their day to day routine – I am here and ready to help.

ADOLESCENT THERAPY

The teenage years are a time of transition and - for many - challenge.

Teens often come to us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with situations that they have difficulty navigating. In teens, depression and anxiety can often be expressed as irritability or anger. Many teens struggle with academic stress, changing social dynamics, identity issues, self-doubt, and intense worry.

All of these issues are ones that we tackle through therapy. We focus on concrete strategies that lead to identifiable results as your teen gradually establishes improved coping, a growth mindset, and a more positive outlook.

PARENTAL CONSULTATION

Our parental consultation service is designed to support parents in navigating the challenges of raising children and teenagers. Through personalized guidance, we help you understand your child’s needs, improve communication, and develop practical strategies to foster a positive and nurturing family environment.
