Maryam Best Counselling / Psychotherapy / Supervision

Maryam Best Counselling / Psychotherapy / Supervision Life is too complex at times. Psychotherapy can gently help us process and reconnect with our world. Therapy is not something I ‘do’ to you.

I offer online appointments to the world community, and in-person appointments to local people. I have the privilege of witnessing how people heal themselves and improve their lives. This knowledge is priceless and helps me be of better service to adults of all ages, interests, personalities, abilities, beliefs, cultures and professions. It’s not my place to tell you what kind of a person you shou

ld or should not be and how to live your life. My job is to respectfully help you find your way out of a stuck, disturbing or confusing position, so you can make real and lasting changes for a more fulfilling life. For more information go to: https://maryambest-therapy.com/

I practise as an ‘Integrative’ therapist and my work is informed by Systemic and Psychodynamic theoretical models. The Systemic model helps me keep in mind that:

everyone deserves respect,

there’s a context to everything,

there are many ways of looking at the same issue,

meanings are important,

we are not islands and do affect each other (even when it doesn’t feel that way to us),

making sense of our relationships and roles (either current or past ones) can contribute hugely to our well-being. The Psychodynamic model helps me keep in mind that:

trust is crucial for therapy to be helpful, and it’s my job as the therapist to facilitate the right trusting conditions. childhood experiences are powerful and affect us in ways we don’t always understand or even notice,

our capacity for surviving intolerable situations is so great that at times it can interfere with our capacity to relax and enjoy life. with therapeutic support we can become aware, reflective, respectful and more in charge of our lives. I have been in practice in the UK since the early nineties and worked in organisations like Mind (mental health, UK), Relate (relationship counselling, UK), Employee Assistance Programmes, higher education at Exeter and Falmouth universities, and independent practice. I was born in 1961 in the beautiful historic city of Esfahan. UK has been my home since the mid eighties and I currently live and work in West Cornwall. Spaces are available for face to face and online counselling, psychotherapy and supervision / consultation.
