About Maria
Maria Fallon is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around self‑esteem and motivation. Sessions address immediate concerns and practical coping in everyday life.
Maria has worked in private practice and in roles supporting vulnerable adults who have fled violence. She also has experience supporting young adults with mental health in educational settings. Her work covers a range of issues including grief, relationship and intimacy problems, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting concerns.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas that consider how earlier life experiences affect current relationships and reactions. In sessions she will talk through what is happening now and how past experiences link to present behaviour.
She aims to help people spot repeating patterns and try different ways of responding. Practical strategies may be used alongside talking about feelings and history. Maria describes clients as the experts in their own lives and works collaboratively to set goals and next steps.
Work often covers everyday stresses, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Maria also supports people with trauma-related issues such as post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.
How Maria uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas in online counselling
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on current problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep or habits that cause distress.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and past experiences shape current reactions. This can help when patterns repeat in relationships or when people want to understand why they respond in certain ways.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She works together with the client to try approaches and review what helps.
