About Maria

Maria Malone is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She works with adults facing issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, career pressure and identity questions including LGBT matters.

Maria draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical tools during sessions. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths that can be used to manage difficult feelings and patterns. Conversations focus on understanding what keeps problems going and on small, doable steps to change how everyday moments feel.

Sessions are collaborative and direct. Maria talks through strategies clients can try between meetings and reviews what helps and what does not. She aims to reduce intense reactions such as snapping or simmering resentment by building clearer awareness and alternative responses that fit the client’s life.

Her background includes long-term work across many mental and physical health related concerns. That breadth lets her draw on different approaches where useful, while keeping the work practical and grounded in day-to-day challenges. Maria accepts international clients and works in English.

Clients who come for help with anger often want better control of outbursts, less guilt after arguments, or tools to manage simmering resentment. Maria focuses on steady, practical steps that help people notice triggers, change patterns, and handle tension with fewer regrets.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in practical ways. One approach focuses on helping people track what triggers strong reactions and then testing small behaviour changes to reduce those reactions. Another approach concentrates on working through past distress and how it shapes current responses, helping people change patterns that keep anger and hurt active.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will work with clients to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. She reviews what is working and adjusts the plan as sessions progress so the methods stay useful and realistic.

Confirm the available session formats before you book, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people access a therapist who understands their concerns even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt techniques so that practical skill-building and emotional work can continue effectively in remote sessions.
