Maria Malone , BACP

Maria Malone is a UK-based therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She combines a broad set of therapeutic skills to tailor sessions to each person, drawing on evidence-based techniques to help clients deepen their understanding of the issues they face and to develop practical strategies for moving forward.

Holding BACP accreditation, Maria has a recognised professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to ongoing professional standards and development. Her practice focuses on areas such as relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and many other concerns that affect mental and physical wellbeing.

Maria works in a compassionate, collaborative style, treating each person as the expert on their own life while helping them discover strengths they may not yet recognise. She aims to create conditions that support growth, challenge self-limiting beliefs and reduce the impact of distressing experiences.

Taking the first step toward change can require courage, and Maria offers steady support as clients explore options, harness existing resources and build greater mastery over their thoughts and actions to pursue a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care

Maria Malone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include skills-focused work to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - these approaches help people learn practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood or stress. She also offers trauma-aware methods that support the safe exploration and processing of painful past experiences, aiming to reduce their ongoing impact on day-to-day life. In addition, Maria attends to attachment and relationship dynamics, helping clients strengthen communication, resolve conflict and build healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress with clients and adapts techniques as therapy unfolds so the plan reflects the client’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, and enable clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
