Welcome to Taking Strides Counselling

You have found your way to this website as you feel it is time to make a change. Maybe it is to understand yourself, maybe it is to begin looking at your relationships or maybe you want to be heard.

My name is Maria Stride, at Taking Strides Counselling, you are placed at the centre and we go at a pace to suit you whether this is short or long term counselling. I create a safe and non-judgemental space where you are free explore your world and what it is you are bringing to counselling. From there we can look at working on coping and/or management strategies which can help you move on to where it is you would like to be.


Please look around my website for more information, I can be contacted via the website form or on 07899 267938.
