About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a BACP counsellor who blends psychodynamic ideas with mindfulness and Jungian perspectives. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to help people understand patterns that affect their relationships and sense of self. Maria draws on eleven years of practice to guide gentle, reflective work rather than quick fixes.
She invites people to talk about everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and issues around intimacy or body image. Codependency and attachment concerns are included among the areas she addresses, alongside practical matters like sleep, eating and parenting stress.
Maria tends to use reflective dialogue that looks at feelings and past patterns, combined with mindfulness exercises to help with grounding. She also brings systemic and solution-focused ideas when the situation calls for clearer goals or family context. Sessions aim to make recurring emotional reactions easier to recognise and manage.
Her work is suited to people who want thoughtful exploration rather than rapid behaviour change. Maria explains concepts plainly and helps clients connect insights to daily life. She encourages people to notice small shifts and to build on them between sessions.

How psychodynamic and mindfulness work online
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring emotional patterns and early relationships to understand how they affect today. It often involves talking about feelings and memories to spot repeating reactions and themes that show up in current relationships.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple grounding and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and staying present during difficult emotions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Maria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice can change as the work unfolds and new priorities emerge.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to have brief check-ins between other commitments and to use written or audio exercises as part of the week. Confirm the available session options before booking so the chosen format suits your schedule and needs.
