About Maria
Maria Masci is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She identifies as a relational integrative practitioner and centres the therapeutic relationship in sessions. Maria works in English and Portuguese and aims to adapt to each person's pace and needs.
Her work focuses on stress, anxiety and depression alongside trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, motivation problems and confidence loss.
Background and approach
Maria approaches these concerns with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Maria draws on several human-centred approaches. She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood.
She also brings existential and psychodynamic ideas to question meaning, patterns and past influences that affect current feelings. In practical terms Maria prefers to tailor the conversation and an ongoing plan to each person. Sessions look at what is happening now, what matters to the person, and small steps that can fit into everyday life.
She invites people to take an active role in their own change. People choose Maria for a calm, relationship-focused style and clear, down-to-earth guidance. She encourages honest conversation about difficult topics while keeping the work straightforward.
If someone is considering support for mood or life changes, she helps map out the first steps.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises empathic listening and helping people feel understood before moving into change work. This approach suits those who want a steady, respectful space to talk things through.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the work over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
