About Maria
Maria Malone is a counsellor who aims to help people untangle long‑standing patterns that hold them back.

Her tone is warm and collaborative, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Maria trained and practises with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on a broad set of techniques so sessions can be tailored to each person's situation. She helps people make sense of their history, spot unhelpful habits, and build new ways of coping.

She also works with issues around intimacy, parenting stress, workplace burnout and identity questions. Her approach privileges the client's experience and strengths while naming patterns that sap wellbeing.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with practical strategies for stress, low mood and overwhelm. Maria encourages curiosity about patterns such as codependency and attachment that affect relationships.
People who prefer a gentle, problem‑solving style tend to find this way of working useful. Maria emphasises collaboration and respects that clients know their story best. She supports steps toward greater confidence, steadier relationships and more manageable day‑to‑day life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Maria draws on a mix of evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to each person. One common strand is trauma‑informed work that helps people understand how past hurts shape present reactions and relationships. This approach pays attention to triggers and practical ways to lessen their impact in daily life.Another useful element is behaviour‑focused work that looks at patterns such as codependency. This involves identifying unhelpful habits, testing small changes, and building healthier routines for relationships and self‑care. It is action orientated and centred on real‑world practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria works collaboratively to decide what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. She explains options, listens to what matters most, and adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
