About Maria
Maria Malone, BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom, has 15 years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and related concerns such as relationships, depression and self-esteem. She works with a wide range of issues including trauma, addiction, LGBT concerns, parenting and career difficulties. Maria also lists additional focus areas such as attachment, ageing, chronic illness and body image.
She draws on a variety of theoretical approaches and practical tools during sessions. That means conversations may include looking at thought patterns, relationships and coping strategies. The aim is to increase understanding of what is causing distress and to identify small steps that help people feel more in control.
Maria describes the work as collaborative. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and uses that knowledge to guide the sessions. Practical techniques may be combined with reflective conversation to address worries and unhelpful habits.
Her practice supports people who want to move past self-limiting beliefs and regain momentum after difficult experiences. Sessions look at strengths that are already present and how to build on them. Maria encourages clear, achievable goals and practical strategies that can be used between meetings.
People considering counselling are asked to choose the online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Maria uses a mix of practical, evidence-based techniques and reflective conversation. One common approach focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns to reduce worry and improve mood; it helps people notice thinking habits and try small experiments to test them. Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns, helping people understand repeating dynamics and choose different ways of relating that reduce stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and decide together which methods fit best. The emphasis is on collaboration so the approach can be adapted as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins, avoid travel time or use audio-only options if that feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals provide sessions that aim to make therapy easier to schedule and use in everyday life.
