About Maria
Maria Levenfiche is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood difficulties such as depression. She also helps with addiction, grief, intimacy-related worries, eating and body image issues, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, career stress and ADHD-related challenges.
Maria describes clients as the experts of their own stories and offers supportive collaboration to find ways forward. Maria works in a straightforward, respectful way.
Background and approach
She focuses on listening first, helping people name what feels hard, and then exploring small, practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions aim to build on strengths and increase a person’s confidence in handling difficult moments. Her background includes eight years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
Maria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and chooses methods that fit each person’s needs. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and to try tools that suit their daily life. Maria describes change as a gradual process and emphasises realistic, achievable goals rather than quick fixes.
She offers sessions remotely for people in the United Kingdom and for international clients in English. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach she uses helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going; it gives simple tools to try between sessions to test what works. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationships, helping people understand patterns learned from family of origin or past relationships and explore different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria treats the choice of methods as collaborative. She will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, explain options in plain terms, and try different techniques until they find what fits best for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging suits ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties and travel, while keeping continuity across locations and time zones. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor session length and format to each person’s needs.
