About Maria
Maria Delasaux works in the United Kingdom and brings a client-led approach to therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers short, straightforward sessions that focus on what matters to each person. Maria uses a mix of practical and reflective methods to help people manage stress and anxiety.
She helps people talk through family tensions and navigate the effects of trauma and abuse.
How Maria works
Work on self-esteem and career concerns is practical and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between sessions. Her background includes three years of practice recorded here, and she draws on approaches that encourage exploration of past patterns as well as hands-on coping strategies. Psychodynamic ideas can help people see how earlier experiences influence current feelings.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Maria also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to make sessions collaborative and goal-directed. Somatic methods are used when emotions feel held in the body and simple body-based exercises can help reduce tension.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to each person's needs. Sessions are offered in English and Maria accepts international clients. People can expect a calm, practical style that balances talking, reflection, and small exercises to try between appointments.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. It involves active listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well for managing stress and building everyday coping skills. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that began earlier in life and how they show up now; this can help when recurring relationship or self-esteem issues feel hard to shift.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide which techniques are most helpful.
Online therapy can be flexible and convenient. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror in-person sessions. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, study, or travel, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
