About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a BACP-registered counsellor with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works in English and Portuguese and helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, anxiety, depression and big life changes. Her work also covers grief, addiction, trauma, self-esteem and parenting concerns.
Maria draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of recurring patterns. She listens for the stories that underlie difficult feelings and strengthens awareness of how relationships affect mood and behaviour. That can help someone who feels stuck after university, a change of job, or a breakup.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear alongside longer-term exploration. Maria uses practical exercises to manage stress and anxiety, while also exploring deeper emotional themes. This mix can suit people who want both short-term tools and time to understand themselves more fully.
Her practice addresses attachment, abandonment and communication problems alongside anger, body image and eating concerns. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue, and with the aftermath of family separation or bereavement.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maria blends psychodynamic work with Jungian ideas and mindfulness in ways that translate well to conversation over distance. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and repeated emotional themes, helping people understand why they react in certain ways. Jungian therapy pays attention to personal symbols and deeper life meanings, which can help with identity, emptiness and attachment issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first. That might mean starting with a few solution-focused sessions to manage immediate stress, then moving into longer psychodynamic exploration if deeper themes emerge. The choice is collaborative and based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Others appreciate being able to use different languages in sessions, since Maria offers English and Portuguese. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the mix of exercises and conversation to suit everyday life.
