About Maria
Maria Delasaux is a counsellor who works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career questions. She is a BACP member and has three years in her current professional role. Maria aims to make the first step easier for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge into sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Maria draws on client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. Her approach combines gentle exploration of past patterns with techniques to change thinking and behaviour. Cognitive-behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses.
She also uses somatic methods to notice how the body holds stress. When trauma or attachment issues are present, Maria takes a careful, paced approach that aims to build safety and tolerance for difficult memories. Solution-focused work helps people set short-term goals and track small wins.
Maria has worked across mental health and neurodiversity settings and brings that background into each session. She offers appointments online by video, phone, chat or messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Maria uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. That approach means listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their priorities. It works well for people who want a supportive space to talk and make sense of their feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. CBT gives clear tools for managing anxiety and stress and can be practised between sessions. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns from the past that affect current relationships and choices, helping to increase self-understanding.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to needs, goals and preferences, and may blend techniques as progress unfolds. That collaborative planning helps keep the work focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing journalling or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to try techniques between sessions.
