About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy counsellor with three years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She works with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to build practical strategies that fit everyday life. Maria aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through at their own pace.
Maria tailors sessions to each person’s situation and goals. She helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, low self-esteem, anger and workplace issues.
Background and approach
She also supports concerns around body image, self-love and women’s issues. Sessions are straightforward and focused on skills you can use between meetings. Her approach emphasises practical tools and short-term goals.
Work may include noticing thought patterns, testing beliefs in small steps and practising new ways of coping. Maria explains techniques in simple language and checks they feel workable before moving on. Sessions can be a mix of conversation and exercises to try at home.
People often leave with clear actions to reduce worry or manage mood. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with adjustments as needs change. If someone is unsure about starting, Maria invites questions and a short matching process to see if her style fits.
She encourages honest talk about expectations so therapy can be shaped around everyday life.

Approaches Maria lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels helpful and adjust techniques to match goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of conversation, worksheets and practical tasks is part of the process and will be decided together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around everyday life and commitments.
