I am Dr Maria Tucknott, a HCPC Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist offering counselling and therapy in Hatfield for adults who would like professional support with their mental health. People often reacho ut when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a confidential space to understand what is happening and begin working towards change.

Appointments are available face to face or online, depending on what works best for you. Whether you are managing long-standing difficulties or responding to something more recent, therapy is shaped around your needs and pace.

Therapy in Hatfield

I use a range of evidence-based therapy models and adapt the work to suit the individual rather than following a fixed formula. This allows therapy to respond to what you bring into the room and what feels most helpful at that time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps recognise patterns in thinking and behaviour and offers practical ways torespond differently to challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR supports the processing of traumatic experiences so they are less emotionally overwhelming in daily life.

EMDR Intensives: These concentrated sessions provide longer or more frequent EMDR therapy over a shorter period, suitable for those wanting focused trauma work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages flexibility in thoughts and behaviour, helping you approach difficult feelings differently and take meaningful action in line with your values.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): CFT supports those who experience self-criticism or shame, encouraging a kinder and more balanced way of relating to yourself.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS helps explore the different parts of your inner self, allowing you to understand internal conflicts and work towards greater internal harmony.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): IPT focuses on the connection between relationships and emotional wellbeing. It can help with grief, life transitions, conflicts with others, and social difficulties. Recognised by NICE for treating depression, IPT is also suitable for anxiety and trauma-related challenges.

Counsellor and Therapist in Hatfield

Alongside my own clinical work, my team and I provide counselling in Hatfield for adults who want a supportive and non-judgmental space. Some clients prefer to attend sessions in person, while others choose online therapy due to time constraints or personal preference. Both options are available and offer the same level of care.

Every therapy plan is tailored to you, taking into account your goals, circumstances and what feels manageable.
