About Me

Bringing warmth, training, and creative experience to every therapeutic relationship.

Maria Picazo, art psychotherapist

Hello, I'm Maria

A warm, person-centred approach

I'm a HCPC registered art psychotherapist offering a calm, non-judgemental space where children, teenagers, and adults can explore their inner world through creativity and conversation.

My practice is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship — in feeling truly seen and accepted. I bring together psychotherapeutic understanding and the creative process to help people make sense of difficult experiences at their own pace.

My background experience includes roles in educational settings, mental health charities, and community art programmes, where empathy and creativity are central to promoting wellbeing and personal transformation.

Whether you arrive with a clear goal or simply a sense that something needs attention, you are warmly welcome exactly as you are.
