About Maria
Maria Delasaux is a counsellor and a BACP member based in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma and abuse, and questions about purpose and career. Maria writes that seeking change takes courage and she aims to offer steady support through that process.
With three years of experience on this platform and a wider background in mental health, Maria emphasises listening first. She sees the person, not just the problem, and works from what people already do well. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to cope with daily pressures.
Maria draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred methods to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also includes solution-focused and somatic techniques when these match someone’s goals.
People consult her about family problems, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and life changes such as divorce or separation. She also supports those affected by trauma, dissociation, and experiencing isolation or the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters. First responder and veteran issues are also within her areas of focus.
Conversations are practical and paced to what the person needs. Maria encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in about what helps. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
Approach choices and how online counselling can help
Maria often uses client-centred work, which means she follows what matters to the person and focuses on their experience and strengths. This approach helps people who need someone to listen and reflect without feeling directed.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. This can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and unhelpful routines by trying small, practical changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as necessary. That decision is shared and can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings for a conversation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help clients stick with their plans and make steady progress.
