About Maria
Maria Fallon helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Maria is named here to make it clear who leads the work and what she focuses on.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought and behaviour patterns and try new ways of coping.
How Maria works
Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Maria has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her background includes part-time independent practice and roles supporting adults who fled violence, as well as supporting young adults in educational settings.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Maria encourages people to notice small changes, try different strategies between sessions, and reflect on patterns that keep problems going. She aims to balance short-term tools with deeper work when that feels right.
People often come for a specific problem or simply to have a safe place to talk. Maria emphasises the client’s own strengths and works at a pace that feels manageable. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from persistent worry.

How Maria’s approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns rooted in earlier life and relationships and helps people understand why they react in certain ways; this can be useful for recurring relationship problems, attachment issues and deeper emotional pain. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways forward. Together they decide whether to focus on practical coping skills, explore past patterns, or combine both over time. Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls give a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging suits ongoing reflection and short updates. These options offer flexibility for different days and needs, and allow people to maintain contact without travelling.Start online instead of waiting
