Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals and small steps they can try between meetings. Her practice draws on a blend of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work are used to tackle unhelpful patterns and build values-based action.

Dialectical ideas and attachment-informed thinking are brought in where emotional regulation or relationship patterns are a focus. She has 14 years of experience and holds BACP membership, which is listed in her credentials. That experience includes supporting people through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping issues, and workplace or career stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Maria sees clients from the UK as well as international clients. She aims to create a calm, practical space where people can try new ways of coping, test different strategies and notice what helps them in everyday life.

How her approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, panic, sleep and mood problems.

Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to tell their story and feel heard. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and focuses on building understanding and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options and try different methods based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time as aims become clearer.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or people who write more comfortably. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and let people use methods that suit their daily life.
