Maria Malone

Maria Malone is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Maria offers a calm, compassionate presence and aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns and make small, practical changes.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages clients to treat themselves as the expert on their own life while she offers tools and perspective. Sessions focus on understanding problems, testing new ways of coping, and building on existing strengths.

Maria draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to fit each person’s needs. She mixes different approaches and practical exercises rather than following a single method. The goal is a clear plan that helps a person manage stress, anger or major life changes.

She has worked across many issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, and work-related stress. Her background includes supporting people through attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties.

Maria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online and what to expect

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a flexible way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anger and anxiety. This involves noticing patterns, trying small experiments and reviewing what helps.

Another approach she may use emphasises emotional processing and safety after difficult experiences. It helps people understand their reactions to trauma and practise ways to manage strong emotions without being overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, set goals together and adjust methods as needed. Clients are invited to try different tools and give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping contact consistent when travel is difficult. Online work can make it easier to book around work or caregiving commitments, and sometimes a phone check-in is useful when a shorter conversation is needed. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs and daily routines.
