Meet Maria
Psychotherapist, Sex and Couples Therapist
Introducing
Maria Garcia
Maria offers a compassionate, grounded therapy space for those experiencing challenges in intimacy, pain with sex, relationship distance, body image struggles, or identity shifts across different stages of life.
Maria supports people experiencing chronic intimate pain — from bladder, vaginal, and vulval discomfort, to sexual pain or tension — as well as changes in desire and the emotional strain these symptoms can create. She also supports clients through pregnancy, postpartum changes, and other transitions that influence intimacy and identity.
Maria's passion and the depth of her care that she brings to her work add's so much to the support we can offer as a multidisciplinary clinic.
About Maria
A psychologist, Gestalt psychotherapist, and a sex and couples therapist with a gender perspective, Maria works with the emotional, relational, and psychological layers of intimate health. She supports clients processing sexual or medical trauma, shame, anxiety, low self-esteem, or the impact of long-term symptoms on intimacy and self-perception.
Her clinical experience spans the UK, Spain, and Germany, where she has worked with individuals, couples, and families, led therapeutic groups, and collaborated with child-protection services. Her special interest in perinatal mental health began after the birth of her first daughter, shaping her deep awareness of how often emotional and sexual needs are overlooked or minimised — and how essential it is to create spaces where those realities are acknowledged and held.
Therapy with Maria
Maria offers online therapy sessions in English and Spanish, providing a supportive, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore their emotions, understand their patterns, and rebuild a sense of connection with themselves and their intimate lives.
Her work is particularly suited to those who:
- Are experiencing ongoing intimate symptoms that are affecting relationships or self-perception
- Feel stuck in patterns around intimacy, desire, or connection
- Are navigating transitions such as postpartum changes or shifts in identity
- Want a space to explore the deeper emotional impact of long-term symptoms
This is not a quick-fix approach. The work is gradual, thoughtful, and collaborative — creating the safety needed to explore what’s often been difficult to work through on your own.

"The combination of work on the nutrition, but also the sessions with Maria, working out where the hidden stress is, the behavioural changes of slowing down and simple changes to habits etc.… all these things combined have been so helpful in getting to a place of recovery and normality!”
