About Maria
Counsellor and BACP member Maria Delasaux has three years of experience and works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career matters. She sees people in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Maria also accepts clients internationally.
Maria uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. She treats people as experts in their own lives and helps them notice strengths they can use. Conversations may include coping ideas for anxiety, ways to manage stress, and practical steps to rebuild confidence.
Her background includes work with attachment issues and neurodiversity. She has supported people affected by separation, domestic violence, and caregiver strain. Maria has particular experience with trauma-related concerns and problems that follow dissociation or isolation.
Therapy sessions can draw on different approaches. Maria uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and follow a client’s priorities. She may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Somatic ideas can be used when bodily responses to stress need attention.
Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants next. Work can include improving communication, coping with life changes, and clarifying career choices. Maria aims to help people take manageable steps rather than promising quick fixes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. The counsellor reflects concerns, clarifies priorities and supports the person to decide next steps. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard and to make their own choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It introduces practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. CBT can suit problems such as persistent worry or low mood.
Somatic work pays attention to bodily reactions to stress. It uses simple awareness and grounding strategies to help with physical responses after trauma or during panic. This can be useful alongside talking-based methods.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not state specific formats. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow quicker short check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer this flexibility while matching methods to each person’s situation.
