Meet Maria

Welcome to Maria Garcia Psychotherapy,

I am a psychologist, psychotherapist, and sexual therapist specialised in perinatal mental health.

My fascination with people and the quest to understand human behavior led me to study Psychology in Spain, followed by advanced training in Psychotherapy in London. Since then, I have worked across the UK, Spain, and Germany, gaining valuable experience in various contexts. I have collaborated with the German and Spanish child protection services and directed a fostering organisation.

​

In my practice, I have a background working with adults, adolescents, and families from disadvantaged backgrounds, addressing issues such as exclusion, suicidal thoughts, abuse, self-harm, low self-esteem, anxiety, learning disabilities, and addiction. Additionally, I have co-facilitated Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) groups aimed at personal development and chronic fatigue.

​

My own journey through motherhood revealed the lack of support and understanding women often face during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives. This personal experience inspired me to create a service dedicated to providing mothers and parents with the support, information, and resources they need throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

I offer both online and face-to-face sessions in English and Spanish for individuals and couples, and I am based in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. My mission is to empower my clients by providing compassionate care and tailored support during their most challenging times, helping them raise awareness and take control of their lives.
