About Maria Kane

My background is in Biomedical Sciences and Psychology and I have taken a keen interest specifically in Health Psychology. In the last few years, I've taken the knowledge and experience I've gained about the relationship between the mind and body and applied it in my practice as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. Specifically, I have worked in supporting individuals with long-term health conditions such as chronic pain and diabetes who are also experiencing mental health difficulties either in addition to or as a direct result of their physical illness. I am particularly focused on providing psychoeducation about the link between physical and mental health and in providing individuals with the tools to manage difficulties in these areas.
