About Maria

Maria Delasaux works with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns using client-centred and practical therapeutic methods. She is a BACP member and has three years' experience as stated in her profile. She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients.

Maria uses a person-focused way of working that starts with the client's own account of their difficulties. She listens for strengths and practical options and helps people notice small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions draw on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and somatic techniques when bodily responses to stress are present.

Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and issues around motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. Additional areas she has worked with include dissociation, domestic violence, first responder and veteran issues, and coping after disasters.

In sessions Maria may use short-term, solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and practical steps. She can also use psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past relationships affect current feelings. Somatic methods are used to help people notice and work with bodily reactions linked to trauma or anxiety.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. People are invited to set priorities and review progress as therapy continues. To begin, readers are advised to use the site matching process to schedule an initial session.

How her approaches work with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person clarify what matters most, which can help with stress, relationships and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Practical exercises and small behavioural steps are used to reduce anxiety and tackle unhelpful patterns.

Psychodynamic ideas explore repeating relationship patterns and how past experiences influence present reactions. This can help when people want to understand long-standing difficulties rather than only manage symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss different methods with clients and agree a plan based on needs, goals and personal preferences. The therapist and client review progress together and adjust the focus as required.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use fewer visual demands, which can be helpful for people who prefer not to be on camera.
