Anxiety at Work / Negativity / Trauma / Eczema
"It was absolutely life changing working with Maria. As a junior doctor having moved countries to start work in the UK but being faced by a horrid pandemic out of the blue."
It was absolutely life changing working with Maria. As a junior doctor having moved countries to start work in the UK but being faced by a horrid pandemic out of the blue; having to be redeployed to different unknown departments, becoming severely burnt out, deciding on changing jobs to better my future career path during such an unprecedented time- I was a mental wreck! Some past issues that had been buried deep down were also nagging at me and I knew they were bleeding into how I was feeling on a day to day basis. Maria was perfect to go through all of these issues with. She's attentive, listens to all of your concerns, is good at zapping you out of it when you need it and extremely warm and loving. At the start of therapy, we listed all of the recurring issues I had and gave them a score as to how bad these recurring thoughts and physical symptoms (e.g. palpitations, eczema, migraines, shoulder tension, sleep problems) were. We reviewed the scores mid therapy and after therapy, and there was a tremendous improvement. Before therapy I was also extremely anxious and it was manifesting in multiple different ways. Especially through my skin! I never had such bad eczema in my life, and surprisingly after working with Maria I do not have a single patch of eczema on my skin. I wish I could share with you all pictures of how damaged my hands and back were vs now. Whilst I was working I did have to wash my hands and sanitize more than anyone at home would have to, but even through a few months of being off work not exposing my hands to harsh chemicals- my hands just were not healing. It was only when I used medicated creams (topical steroid therapy) along WITH therapy did my hands completely heal and the back eczema miraculously disappeared. After working with Maria I can also definitely say that I have more self confidence, can manage my anxiety better and understand the crux of where my recurring thoughts originate from . I've become better at being the observer to my emotions and feelings (feelings of panic, anxiety etc) and understand how to not be so controlled by my emotions. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone whose feeling really alone during this pandemic resulting in depression and anxiety, is between jobs/isn't clear about their future, anyone whose suffering from sleep problems, stress induced eczema (I'm sure the therapy would work wonders for other people who have stress induced flares of any condition.) Additionally Maria is great at working through your past hidden issues that may bleed into your day- she does this by some amazing hypnotherapy techniques. I'll leave you all to discover Maria's magic now! But I would highly, highly recommend her.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks
"I have suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for years until I found Maria and had therapy with her."
Wow she truly is an amazing lady and has taught me so much. I can honestly say now I can control any negative thoughts and emotions I may have without it blowing up into a full blown panic attack and my anxiety is almost existent, again I'm able to control any negative feelings thanks to the lovely Maria. Maria is also a very warm, friendly, caring, understanding and patient lady who I would recommend in a heartbeat to anyone God bless her xx

Work Anxiety, Low Self-esteem and everything that goes along with that, quite deep-seated. Also, work-related issues.
“I can assess issues and events much more rationally and focus on the positive elements of my life.”
I worked with Maria mostly by Skype. I started out relatively cynical and had turned to this therapy as a last resort. I chose Maria initially because I really liked her profile and there was a warmth to her even on paper. This turned out to be exactly who she was in person – patient, knowledgeable and I was able to trust her instantly. She dispelled my cynicism by the first session and was clear about what we might be able to achieve in the sessions – no hard sell, just facts which helped to put me at ease. I have gained/achieved a lot and what was especially helpful were the mp3’s she provides to reinforce the work we have done. I’m still finding them useful, specially using self-hypnosis for anxiety. I am now able to disconnect from emotions I associate with my self-consciousness around new people. This was a real problem socially. In addition, work pressures were increasingly harder to deal with and I was struggling with basic life chores and duties – I had given up on life and was just going through the motions. With a bit of hard work as we did, I am now motivated. I can assess issues and events much more rationally and focus on the positive elements of my life of which there are many. I definitely could not have said that before the therapy. I did twelve sessions and noticed changes from day one. I will definitely recommend – yes, YES, YES!
Maria, it is no exaggeration to say that you have saved my soul if not my life. You were my last resort. I wish you had been my first, but without the struggle I may not have appreciated what you have helped me achieve.
Thank you

Social Anxiety / Professional Confidence – Public Speaking / Fear of Flying
“I’m now able to perform tasks that I thought were impossible a month ago”
I’ve suffered from constant anxiety for as long as I can remember, particularly from social anxiety and fear of public speaking, to the point that my office jobs were no longer manageable and I was very close to fall deeply into depression. I had very little self-confidence despite having progressed in my career and achieved many of my professional and personal goals. However, I got to a point in which I wasn’t able to progress any further due to my the constant fear of being evaluated and criticised by others, which paralysed me and stopped me from speaking up and being more visible. My day to day prior to the sessions was absolutely controlled by my anxiety and lack of confidence due to past experiences, mainly during my childhood. Having done a number of therapies before (eMDR, CBT) I was sceptical at first, but I wanted to give hypnotherapy and the BAGC6 a go. I can say that I’m in a much better place than when I started. My constant anxiety has hugely decreased, and I’m now able to perform tasks that I thought were impossible a month ago, like giving a speech in front of my colleagues without having a panic attack or simply socialising with new people at a party. My perspective on things is now different and I’ve gained new confidence which allows me to speak and interact with others without fear. Maria has been great in understanding my issues and creating a very tailored treatment (hypnosis, EMDR, etc) to tackle these. She’s always been very determined and a firm believer in a full recovery which has been very helpful, particularly in moments when I wanted to give up. She’s also giving me tools and techniques that I can use to manage emotions and to stay focused (like auto-hypnosis) and I’m using these almost on a daily basis to continue building on my confidence and resilience. As per the fear of flying, this is something that I still need to test, but I’m confident that I will have also overcome it in the same way that I’ve beaten my anxiety disorder. I can only be grateful to Maria for all her help and for believing in me since day 1, and totally recommend her treatment!
Thanks so much!

Communication difficulties and Nerves at a Professional level.
“I don’t fear communicating with colleagues or bosses”
I had a challenge with being able to communicate for previous years and it became so bad that during conference calls at work I would get sweaty palms and felt, actually I don’t think I can talk about what I need to discuss, because it will be wrong anyway (a mini anxiety attack)! So, I was stumbling as I was speaking and when I paused, it felt like a 1000 years had gone by.
I contacted Maria and the first session was definitely an immediate impact and as the weeks/sessions (6) went by, all of the symptoms mentioned above started to go away to the point of never returning.
It has been nearly a year now since we had our first session and I can honestly say, the best investment of my life. I don’t fear communicating with colleagues or bosses and I just say what I feel in a pragmatic and logical way. Not stumbling on my words and when I pause, I do it intentionally as a communication tool. I am really grateful and extremely happy right now. I would really recommend anyone to just give it a try.
Thank you Maria!

Personal and Professional Development - Removing Limiting Beliefs
"All I can say is: THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS"
All I can say is: THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS. And Maria knows how to apply it - brilliantly. In English. Or in Spanish. I am a UK-based expat in a junior executive role at a global multinational and came to Maria seeking assistance "rewiring" my brain to eliminate a number of limiting beliefs that were getting in the way of me performing my best both personally and professionally. The improvement is real. The ROI on her therapy is well above expectations. Highly recommended!
