About Maria
Maria Haidermota is an ACA counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and life changes. She listens carefully and offers straightforward tools to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions are warm and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more confident.
Maria keeps sessions collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Background and approach
She also focuses on communication and relationship skills that make it easier to resolve conflict and feel more connected to others. Her work includes support for parenting worries, low self-esteem and challenges linked to attention differences such as ADHD. Maria also assists people dealing with attachment concerns, body image, and feelings of isolation or life-stage change.
She adapts her approach to what each person needs in the moment. Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside person-centred, trauma-aware ways of working. That means sessions balance practical strategies with respectful listening and attention to past experiences that still affect daily life.
She offers sessions in English, Gujarati and Hindi to make it easier for people to express themselves. Maria aims to help clients build practical skills they can use between sessions, so progress continues outside the room.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Maria frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and gives clear tools for anxiety, low mood and impulsivity.She also uses a person-centred, trauma-aware approach that focuses on being heard and understood. This creates space to reflect on past experiences that still affect current feelings and relationships, while building coping skills for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, test strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while still getting evidence-based care from an appropriately qualified therapist.
