About Maria
Maria Masci is a BACP psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and places the client at the centre of the work. Her style aims to give people more choice and control over their healing journey.
Maria speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Maria works from a relational, integrative perspective. That means she draws on different approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred ideas, existential thinking, psychodynamic perspectives and solution-focused methods. Sessions are adapted to what feels most helpful for each person. In practice she helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and addresses self-esteem and motivation concerns.
She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain, career questions and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, impulsivity, isolation and social anxiety. Maria aims for conversations that are respectful, warm and down-to-earth.
She works at a pace set by the client and tailors dialogue and treatment plans to individual needs. The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between sessions alongside deeper reflection. Taking the first step can feel daunting and Maria offers a steady, collaborative approach.
If someone wants to explore life purpose, relationships, mood challenges or sexuality, she provides a space to name worries and try new ways of coping.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and Maria treats it as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their needs. Over a few sessions the pair will review what helps and adjust the approach as necessary.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging lets clients reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and make it easier to keep continuity when schedules change.
