About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the knock-on effects of trauma. She also supports those dealing with grief, stress, addiction concerns, ADHD and the strain of life changes. Maria works with individuals who want practical help to feel more in control and move forward.
Maria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a range of clinical ideas and tools rather than a single method. In sessions she listens, asks questions, and suggests strategies that suit each person’s situation and goals.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She encourages clients to notice strengths they may not yet recognise. Together she helps people spot thoughts or patterns that hold them back and try alternatives that feel more manageable.
Maria has worked across many issues that affect mental and physical wellbeing. She has particular experience with relationship concerns, identity and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image and sexual minority issues.
Clients can expect a practical focus on what helps in daily life. Maria will work with each person to set short-term steps and longer-term goals. She views therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Maria draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic ideas and adapts them to each person. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and then testing small, practical changes to those patterns. This can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.Another approach emphasises understanding the impact of distressing events and life changes on feelings and relationships. It involves exploring painful memories at a pace the person can manage and building coping skills for triggers and difficult moments. This can be useful for people recovering from trauma or facing grief and loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria treats the choice as a collaborative process that starts with listening to the client’s goals and preferences. Together she will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them over time if something isn’t helping.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals often find ways to make online sessions practical and effective while matching the therapy style to each person’s life.
