About Maria
Maria Masci is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works from a relational, integrative perspective and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre. Maria aims to help people feel heard and to give them space to make choices about their own healing.
Her background includes humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, behavioural and social psychology influences. She holds BACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Maria has supported people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. In sessions she focuses on building trust and tailoring the approach to each person. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the individual, and practical steps are explored alongside deeper reflection.
She balances short-term problem solving with attention to patterns that have developed over time. Maria also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting stress, career challenges and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment, panic and post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and sexuality.
She adapts interventions to the person’s needs rather than using a single method. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she encourages clients to move at a comfortable pace. People who want a collaborative space to talk about anxiety, life changes or recurring patterns may find her approach a good fit.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Maria often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the person’s own pace and insights shape the work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to emphasise ACT techniques, a person-centred way of working, or elements from existential or psychodynamic thinking.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face dialogue and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing and more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
