Maria Wentworth Integrative CBT Therapist Manchester offers dedicated support to individuals seeking clarity, healing, and emotional resilience. As a qualified integrative counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist, Maria delivers professional, compassionate therapy through Priory’s trusted online therapy service.
Maria brings a wealth of experience, having worked in both NHS and private settings. She helps people navigate a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and childhood trauma. Her work spans all age groups and is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practice, and clinical expertise.
Maria provides a unique and integrative approach to therapy. She combines multiple therapeutic models tailored to each client’s needs. While cognitive behavioural therapy forms a core foundation, Maria also draws on psychodynamic, humanistic, and person-centred theories. This flexible framework empowers clients and supports long-term emotional well-being.

Maria has specialist experience working within an NHS bariatric weight management service. Here, she supported clients with complex emotional relationships with food. She also co-led therapy groups that focused on relapse prevention and recovery from addiction.
In addition, Maria has worked extensively in the prison system on a specialist drug rehabilitation unit. She led structured group therapy programs for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol misuse. This work gave her a solid understanding of trauma, dependency, and recovery.
