About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor with BACP registration and 15 years of experience in the UK. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients move past self-limiting beliefs and regain a sense of control.
She draws on a mix of therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed model. Sessions focus on building understanding of the issues you face and trying practical strategies to help you cope day to day.
Background and approach
Maria uses straightforward language and works at a pace chosen by the client. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including addiction, parenting stresses, career problems and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating identity and intimacy-related issues, attachment and neurodiversity matters, and long-term health or caregiving challenges.
Trauma and abuse are among the areas she regularly addresses. Maria describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s experience leads the work. She highlights the strengths people already have and helps them see options that might not have been obvious.
The aim is clearer thinking, better emotional regulation and more effective ways to handle difficult situations. Clients can expect a calm, compassionate tone and practical focus in sessions. Maria emphasises realistic goals and step-by-step progress rather than quick fixes.
She invites open conversation about what is and isn’t working so the plan can be adapted over time.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Maria brings together evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape online sessions. One common approach she uses focuses on building awareness of thoughts and feelings and then testing new ways of responding in daily life. This helps with anxiety, depression and stress by breaking down problems into manageable steps.Another key strand emphasises processing difficult experiences and trauma at a pace set by the client. The work involves creating safety in sessions, naming painful memories and developing coping skills to reduce their impact on everyday life. This supports recovery from abuse, grief and other traumatic events.
Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences and how symptoms show up in day-to-day life. Together they choose or adapt methods so the work feels relevant and practical rather than theoretical.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy going despite busy schedules.
