About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life changes. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people notice strengths they already have.
Maria uses a flexible mix of therapeutic methods rather than a single fixed model. She tailors sessions to each person and chooses tools that fit the issue being discussed.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on making sense of what is happening now and finding practical ways to move forward. Her practice often looks at patterns that keep problems going, and at unhelpful beliefs people hold about themselves. Maria helps clients test new ways of coping, try small changes between sessions, and build skills that reduce stress and overwhelm.
She explains ideas plainly and keeps the work grounded in everyday life. People come to Maria for help with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career stresses, and difficulties with intimacy or self‑esteem. She also supports those managing chronic illness, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues linked to adoption or attachment.
Therapy is paced to each person's readiness and aims are reviewed together. Maria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Work typically begins with a short matching questionnaire and a discussion about goals so that the first steps feel clear and manageable.

Online support
A second approach attends to past hurt and difficult events by helping people make sense of those experiences and how they affect current relationships and self‑esteem. Work of this kind usually combines reflective conversation with practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time and progress is reviewed together so the work stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and build rapport; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
