A Little About Me
My name is Maria Carr. I am a qualified Applied Psychology practitioner, Psychodrama and Group Work co-therapist, and have qualifications in Social Psychology and Social Work. I am a registered member of the British Psychological Society and Scottish Social Services Council. I have an up-to-date Disclosure Scotland (PVG) for working with both children and adults.
My Story
Since qualifying in 2001, I have worked as an applied psychology practitioner in a health clinic, psychological consultation and psychodrama group work in private practice, team building and stress management for organisations. I also designed and conducted my research for public organisations.
I believe that therapy can be hugely beneficial, both healing and transformative. The therapeutic relationship is central to successful therapy outcomes, and I will do my best to relate to you in a trusting and genuine way. My reward is to see you happier with yourself, to be confident dealing with the outside world, and to have hope for your future.
