About Maria-Ann
Maria-Ann Bulley is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 22 years of experience. She meets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or burdened by grief, trauma, workplace stress, relationship strain or recurring anger. She works with adults across a wide range of concerns and supports people from the LGBT community as part of her caseload.
Maria uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what is happening for them. She listens and helps clients identify small, practical steps to reduce stress and manage difficult emotions. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as discussions about patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means clients can expect a mix of reflective listening, examining thought and behaviour patterns, and setting short-term goals to test changes. The work aims to shift unhelpful cycles rather than promise quick fixes.
Maria has experience supporting people facing trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and anger. She also addresses issues linked to adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, infertility and relationship difficulties including infidelity and separation.
Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site controls. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel understood and can find your own solutions; it suits people who need a calm space to talk through strong feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small steps you can try between sessions to see what changes help.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, day-to-day pressures and what feels practical. That discussion is ongoing and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend brief check-ins or focused goal work. Others prefer longer conversations to explore patterns over time. Discussing timing and session length helps ensure meetings fit around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
