About Maria
Maria works from a strengths-focused perspective, holding the view that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries resources that can support change. She encourages clients to take small, courageous steps toward a more satisfying and fulfilling life, offering steady support and practical tools along the way. Her approach emphasises empowerment, collaboration, and respect for each person’s values and goals.
As a BACP practitioner - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Maria draws on established therapeutic methods to address difficult patterns and promote healthier relationships with self and others. She aims to create a compassionate space where people can explore challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most to them and to take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support work on intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, and attachment concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership where therapist and client explore options together and adapt strategies over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
