About Maria

Maria Lawrence is a counsellor with four years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Maria aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and other concerns without feeling judged.

She takes an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she adapts her style to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed method.

Background and approach

Together clients identify problems, set practical goals, and try ways of coping that fit their daily lives. Maria often supports people facing relationship strain, issues with self-esteem, addiction concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, and major life changes. She also works with those experiencing depression, bipolar challenges, anger, parenting stress, career questions and compassion fatigue.

Her practice includes attention to intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Maria explains options and helps people choose formats that suit their routines, work and communication preferences.

People who are curious about starting are directed to a short matching questionnaire to help pair them with a suitable therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Maria works in an integrative way, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person’s needs. One common approach she uses focuses on practical coping skills and behavioural changes to manage anxiety and stress. This helps people develop routines, sleep and eating habits, and small steps that reduce day-to-day overwhelm.

Another approach centres on processing difficult experiences linked to trauma and abuse through paced, stabilising work. This supports people who feel stuck by past events to build tolerance for emotions and to try safer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Maria collaborates with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques as therapy progresses. That means the chosen approach can change if it’s not working or if life circumstances shift.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins and a flexible way to reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to maintain contact when schedules change.
