About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience. She works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress and a wide range of other concerns young adults commonly face. Maria also supports people with career questions, grief, addiction-related struggles, ADHD and LGBT issues.
Maria uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools. She draws on several approaches so sessions can focus on understanding what is happening now and on ways to move forward. Conversations look at patterns, coping strategies and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her method is collaborative. Maria treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and helps identify strengths people may be overlooking. Sessions typically involve talking things through, trying out new ways of responding and checking what works between appointments.
She has worked across a wide range of presenting concerns over her career, including attachment and abandonment, body image, blended family issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related matters. That breadth means she is used to shifting focus as needs change.
Maria offers practical support for people navigating big life transitions such as leaving home, starting a career, relationship changes and coping with loss. If you are aged 18 to 30 and feeling stuck or behind, she can help talk through the next steps and practical strategies to manage stress and regain momentum.
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions work
Maria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. One common approach looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical ways to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach focuses on patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people understand how past experiences affect current intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and daily life. That means checking in after a few sessions and adjusting methods if something isn’t helping.
The biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access a therapist when moving cities or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use different formats so it is worth confirming which ones are offered when you schedule a session.
