About Maria
Maria Lawrence draws on an integrative approach to counselling, mixing ideas from different therapeutic disciplines to fit each person. She aims to work alongside clients to spot what matters, set realistic goals, and try new ways of coping. Maria keeps language simple and practical so people can take small steps forward.
She has four years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That membership is listed as her professional credential. Maria helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and grief. She also supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and relationships.
Maria offers help for sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, career worries, bipolar mood challenges, and adjusting to life changes. She can also address compassion fatigue and symptoms commonly linked to ADHD. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
In her sessions Maria provides a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Conversations focus on understanding what is happening now and exploring practical steps forward. She listens for patterns and tries ideas that feel manageable for everyday life.
People who start work with Maria can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on small changes that build over time. She encourages honest feedback so the approach can be adjusted as needed.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, check what feels comfortable, and adapt methods to match a client’s goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work can be adjusted as it progresses.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
