Maria Angela (Jelly) Virata uses a holistic, integrative approach to Counseling taking into account the whole person—body, mind, spirit and emotions. She received her M.A. in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University (California) specializing in Transpersonal Psychology.
Ms Virata combines in-depth humanistic psychotherapy with a practical Brief Therapy approach called Solution Focused (SF). She is a Master SF Practitioner (MSFP) recognized by the International Alliance of Solution-Focused Teaching Institutes (IASTI) and a Professional Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
Jelly is inspired by sharing new ideas from the Solution Focused Approach and Positive Psychology to help people grow and feel better equipped to face the challenges of their professions and personal lives. With Solution Focused, she is more interested in looking for clients’ strengths, resources and capabilities to manage challenging situations. This builds hope & optimism and helps people find solutions in small, workable steps.
Jelly is an Associate Trainer of the Academy of Solution Focused Training (Singapore) and has been conducting Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Foundational (Basic) Level and Intermediate Level training in Manila since 2009; as well as the SF WOWW (Working on What Works) Teacher Training program since 2014. She has also adapted the WOWW coaching program for the corporate setting training managers and teams.
