Maria Delasaux, BACP

Maria Delasaux is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on several therapeutic styles to help people manage stress, anxiety and family difficulties. Maria writes plainly and works with people who want to build confidence and find direction in their lives.

Maria believes people are the experts in their own stories and that strengths already exist to help face hard things. She offers steady support while clients work through trauma, low self-esteem, or the practical fallout of separation and family change. Her approach aims to make the work feel purposeful and achievable.

Her background includes focused work with trauma and neurodiversity. Maria has experience helping with caregiver strain, communication problems and issues linked to military or first responder roles. She also supports people coping with isolation, life purpose questions and the impact of disaster or domestic violence.

In sessions she combines client-centred listening with focused, practical tools when they are useful. Maria may use cognitive-behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking alongside somatic techniques that attend to bodily responses. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused conversations to understand history and set short-term goals.

People who choose to work with Maria can expect a compassionate, straightforward way of talking and planning small steps. She aims to help clients notice what is already working and build from there. To begin, follow the site guidance to match with her and arrange a session.

How Maria's approaches translate to online therapy

Maria commonly uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and helping people be heard, alongside cognitive-behavioural work that looks at unhelpful thinking and practical ways to change everyday patterns. Client-centred work helps when people need space to tell their story, and CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and confidence issues.

She also draws on somatic ideas at times to notice how stress shows up in the body, and on solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. Together these approaches give a mix of talking, noticing physical reactions and trying small behavioural steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together with the client so sessions feel helpful and manageable. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how quickly to move between them.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings, depending on the chosen format.
