About Me

My name is Maria Hlibocianu, I am a psychologist, psychotherapist, and hypnotherapist, and I run my own Private Practice - Accredited by COPSI Romania (Romanian College of Psychologists), since 2020, providing services to people internationally.

I am a professional with a deep commitment to supporting people in understanding their inner world, navigating emotional experiences, and building healthier relationships with themselves and others. My work integrates evidence-based approaches from clinical psychology with the transformative potential of therapeutic hypnosis, always tailored to the unique needs, pace, and goals of each individual.

I believe that psychological therapy is not about “fixing” people but about facilitating awareness, resilience, and self-agency. Many of our emotional responses are rooted in context, history, and meaning. When we create space for those experiences to be explored safely and without judgment, new possibilities for change and healing emerge.

In my practice, I emphasize an attuned, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I work with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, relational patterns, self-worth, and identity. Whether the challenge is rooted in the past, unfolding in the present, or connected to future fears, therapy is a space where complexity can be held and understood.

My approach is grounded in scientific research, modern clinical frameworks, and an appreciation for the mind–body connection. Through clinical hypnotherapy, I support people in accessing unconscious processes, working with deeply held beliefs, and unlocking resources that often remain outside conscious awareness.

The goal of my work is to help individuals experience more clarity, coherence, and choice in their lives. Every person carries resilience and wisdom within them; therapy is simply a place where those capacities are discovered, strengthened, and expressed.
