Background and approach
Maria has eight years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That experience includes supporting people with depression, grief, addictions, eating and body image concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She also works with concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family issues, communication and control problems, and separation and divorce. Maria offers help around fertility and fatherhood issues as well as family of origin matters. Sessions are available online in the United Kingdom and to international clients.
Maria uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Maria uses well-established therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new ways to respond; this helps with anxiety, stress and low mood by changing how situations are perceived and handled. Another approach works with attachment and relationship patterns by looking at past and current connections to improve communication and emotional closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy here is designed for accessibility and flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when someone needs support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
