About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or drained. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Maria draws on 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration to offer steady, practical support.
She helps with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, parenting pressures, career stress and life changes.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caring for someone with long term illness. Maria uses a mix of evidence-based techniques. She adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level. The aim is to build understanding and practical ways forward. Her style is compassionate and straightforward.
She encourages people to notice strengths they already have and to try small changes that add up. Maria frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance to help them move past barriers. People can expect calm, down-to-earth conversations focused on real problems.
Work might include thinking through upsetting memories, practising new ways to cope with stress, or planning steps to reach a goal. Progress is measured in small, useful changes that fit everyday life.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different methods until you find what fits. Sessions are paced to your comfort and reviewed regularly to make sure the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can suit busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let you keep in touch between longer sessions and fit support around work or caregiving commitments. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday life.
