Welcome to a space of support, healing and growth.
Welcome to a space of support, healing and growth.
I've chosen to name my practice "Creating a Life" because I firmly believe in acknowledging and engaging with the narrative that shapes our lives. It's crucial to wholeheartedly embrace our journey, our potential, our challenges, and our authentic selves. All of this plays a vital role in contributing to the process of crafting a life that's rich with depth and meaning.
My name is Mary Lira and my goal is to provide you with a compassionate environment where you can embark on your journey towards wellness and self-discovery.
I was born and lived in Venezuela, where I studied Psychology. My journey as a therapist has been quite an adventure! I initially set to live in Spain, where I immersed myself in a master's program in Neuropsychology. Along the way, I had the chance to live in Germany and Sweden for some time, adding layers to my experiences. Now, I've found my place in Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, I have trained again and finished my Pluralistic Counselling Diploma.
Currently, I am an Accredited Registrant Member (MNCPS Acc.) of NCPS ( The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society ), you can find me in their public registry for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists that meet their criteria for safe practice and ethics.
I am a Pluralistic counsellor, my focus is on tailoring the best approach just for you, considering your individual circumstances. I draw from a variety of methods to create a counselling experience that truly suits you. The core of my work centres around adapting to your pace and what feels most comfortable for you, your feedback and preferences are so important!
I bring a background in Psychology to our sessions, and I have a Master's Diploma in Neuropsychology. This knowledge integrates into the sessions. Alongside this, I incorporate practices rooted in compassion to support you on your path to healing. I remain mindful of the impact society can have on us as individuals, we are all part of a bigger context, and sometimes external factors play a significant role in the challenges we face.
Lastly, I frequently use creativity in our sessions. This can include visual art like drawings and paintings, as well as creative writing and stories. These artistic tools serve as valuable resources to facilitate your process. Altogether, I offer a diverse range of approaches, ensuring that we progress at a pace that suits you and aligns with the unique path you're on.
