Our mission

Traditional models

Traditional talking therapy is an opportunity for an individual to talk through their thoughts and feelings - the therapist is a passive participant in the process and the idea is that in the course of you working through your emotions, you will figure things out.

Counselling offers a similar type of support, but focuses on an individual addressing specific issues in their lives, whereas therapy looks at a person's past and present more holistically

What makes insightology different?

Combining all of Maariya's years of study and practice, she has developed the Therapeutic Mentorship approach. This approach explores the challenges of your past, while addressing the impact on your present, but provides solutions and guidance on how to shape your future.

Maariya's philosophy is that there are two fundamental things needed for real, sustainable change in your life: mindset shifts and practical action and her hands-on approach helps achieve exactly that for her clients.
