FIND THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU
The Team at Maratos Counselling
Making the decision to seek therapy and support can be difficult. It is important to find a therapist you feel is the “right fit” and someone you feel comfortable opening up to. Therapists use different communication styles and treatment strategies; no two therapists are alike.

OUR COMMITMENT

A Word From Our Founder

“The Maratos Counselling and Consulting Services you see today is the culmination of a dream of mine.  When I graduated as a social worker over 20 years ago, it was my goal to create a private therapy practice that provided top-quality psychotherapy and counselling by highly qualified, experienced professionals.

 

Being an amazing therapist entails more than education and credentials. The empathy and compassion required to be effective in our work is something that can’t be taught. Through the years, I have added to the team, selecting colleagues who possess that unique combination of the passion for continued excellence, the experience that fosters confidence and the compassion needed to really connect.  You have my word when I say I would be confident in sending my own family members to any of the professionals on our team.”

Quick skill! “STOP” Technique This is a great Quick skill!
“STOP” Technique
This is a great skill to create a hurdle for ourselves when we start to feel overwhelmed, or start spinning and ruminating. 
S-Stop! Physically stop moving
T- Take a few deep breaths 
O- Observe your physical sensations. (What is happening in your body?)
P- Proceed. Focus on one thing. Take small steps, one at a time.
