Background and approach

That might mean practical strategies to manage stress, or conversational work to make sense of difficult past events. She focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new ways to respond, and practising skills between meetings.

Maria places emphasis on strengths and on building confidence over time. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, depression, addiction, grief and coping with life changes. She also offers support for issues linked to identity and sexuality, and for people navigating parenting challenges or career stress.

Maria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks clients to share their story so together they can set realistic goals and decide on the best way forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Maria often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves skills-based strategies to manage anxiety and stress; these teach simple exercises and daily routines that reduce pressing symptoms and make day-to-day life easier. Another approach centres on talking through past difficulties to better understand how they shape current feelings and relationships; this helps with trauma, self-esteem and intimacy-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to a person’s concerns, goals and preferences, then suggests options and adapts them over time. Together they review what helps most and adjust the plan so work feels useful and achievable.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face experience for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, flexible scheduling or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments, and allow people to continue therapy if they move location.
