About Maria

Maria Delasaux is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and life changes. Maria emphasises that clients are the experts in their own stories and brings a supportive presence as people take early steps toward feeling better.

Maria draws on a mix of approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people learn practical ways to manage anxious thoughts and day-to-day stress. Somatic ideas are sometimes used to reconnect with the body when emotions feel overwhelming.

Her background includes three years of experience working directly with people in counselling roles. That time has included supporting those affected by trauma and abuse, and those coping with family problems and changes such as separation. Maria also works with clients facing issues around self-esteem, career decisions and the strain of caregiving.

In sessions she aims for clear, straightforward conversations. People can expect to talk about what they want to change and try small, manageable steps between meetings. Maria focuses on building on strengths and practical coping skills rather than jargon or lengthy theory.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, they start by using the site Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Maria uses client-centred therapy to offer attentive listening and reflection, helping people clarify what matters to them and set goals. This approach is useful for anyone needing a non-judgemental space to talk through worries about panic, anxiety or life decisions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives straightforward tools to identify anxious thoughts and try different responses. CBT can help with panic-related symptoms by teaching practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build step-by-step coping skills.

Somatic ideas bring attention to bodily signals and breathing patterns that often accompany anxiety. Simple body-focused techniques can reduce intense sensations and make it easier to use other coping strategies in the moment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as things change. The conversation about approach often starts in early sessions and continues as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Discuss practical needs with the therapist when arranging appointments to find a rhythm that suits everyday routines.
