Where we begin.
Most people think something like: "I am not sure where to start" and that's exactly it. I offer a free initial conversation, around 30 minutes, to explore what has brought you here, what you are hoping for, and whether this feels like the right fit.
I will ask a few gentle questions and mostly listen. By the end, you will have a clearer sense of whether this feels right, and so will I.
If we decide to work together, we will agree on a format and rhythm that suits you. All sessions are available in person in Bath or online; in English or in Italian.
free initial conversation
Book a 30-minute call
No obligation. No performance required. Just tell me a little about where you are and what you are looking for.
The work doesn't promise a particular destination. But it does tend to move in a direction: toward greater honesty, greater ease, and a life that fits a little more truly

The Intensive
Three hours. Uninterrupted depth
There are moments when what is needed is not another weekly session, but a single, uninterrupted space.
The intensive is three hours. Not three sessions compressed together, something different. A sustained container in which the work can move at its own pace, without the clock ending things before they are ready to end.
Reduced fee
I hold a small number of concessionary places for someone closely affected by cancer. If this applies to you, please mention it in our first conversation. We will talk together about what feels possible and agree a rate that reflects your circumstances and the limited availability of these places.
Cancellation policy
Time held for you is not available to anyone else, so the policy runs the same way in both directions.
- More than 48 hours' notice: rescheduled or cancelled, no fee.
- Less than 48 hours' notice, or non-attendance: the full session fee is payable.
Initial commitment
Eight weeks. That is what gives the work time to establish itself before either of us decides what comes next. After that you can end at any point, and I ask for one session's notice where possible so that we can close properly rather than abruptly.
What the work has made possible
“I came looking for coaching and found something far more human than I expected. Maura brought structure, empathy, humour, and real flexibility. It felt like having someone entirely in your corner—who also isn’t afraid to push you when it matters. I got what I needed, and I’ll definitely be back for deeper work.”
— Adult, he/him
“I just wanted to say thank you. Counselling has really helped my son cope with everything going on with his dad’s illness. We’re truly grateful for all you’ve done for our family during this difficult time.”
— Mother of a young child
“Working with Maura gave me the space to stop and look at where I was and where I actually wanted to be. She asked questions that gently challenged me without ever making me feel judged. I came in feeling lost and stuck in my head. I’ve come out feeling clearer, more connected to what matters.”
— Young Adult, she/her
