About Maria

Maria Delasaux is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience listed for this profile. She works with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients internationally.

Maria sees people who feel stuck after big changes, or who struggle with ongoing worry and low confidence. She uses straightforward conversation to map what matters most to each person. She recognises strengths the client already has and helps apply them to current problems.

Her background includes work with attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family challenges and caregiver stress. She also has experience with codependency, communication problems, dissociation and the effects of domestic violence and separation. First responder and veteran issues are part of her practice focus too.

Maria draws on a mix of client-centred, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, solution-focused and somatic approaches. That lets her combine short-term problem solving with attention to feelings held in the body and long-standing patterns that affect relationships and choices.

People meet a counsellor who aims to listen carefully and offer practical steps they can try between sessions. The first meetings focus on identifying priorities and realistic, manageable goals. Later work looks at unhelpful habits, how early relationships shape current difficulties, and practical strategies for coping and decision-making.

How Maria uses talking therapies online

Maria commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own answers; it suits people wanting to clarify values or life purpose. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety or improving mood.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas when longer patterns matter. That approach pays attention to past relationships and recurring themes that affect current choices. Together these approaches allow short-term problem solving alongside deeper reflection when needed.

Finding the right mix is collaborative. The counsellor will work with each person to test approaches and agree what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That means sessions can change over time as aims become clearer.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins that do not need extended time away from work or home routines.
