About Maria

Counsellor, BACP registered, 3 years' experience. Maria Delasaux helps people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career issues. She works using client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, solution-focused and somatic approaches.

Maria describes people as the experts in their own stories. She uses that viewpoint to create straightforward sessions where a person’s strengths guide the work. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on clear steps the client can try between meetings.

Her background includes work with trauma and neurodiversity. That experience informs how she notices dissociation, attachment concerns and difficulties linked to being on the autism spectrum. She also addresses problems around communication, codependency and blended family dynamics.

Maria draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Somatic methods help when stress or trauma show up in the body rather than only in thoughts.

People can expect short, direct conversations that balance present-day problem solving with attention to longer standing patterns. The therapist’s approach is collaborative: goals and methods are agreed with the client. Practical steps and small experiments are commonly used between sessions to track progress.

How Maria uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens and reflects so the client can clarify goals and make decisions. This approach helps when people want support to sort out feelings or choices without being led to a specific solution.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test different ways of thinking. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress and confidence work where practical tools are helpful.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily responses linked to stress or trauma. It uses simple awareness and movement-based techniques to notice how the body holds tension and to try alternatives. This is useful when symptoms include bodily tension, startle responses or dissociative moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion may change over time as priorities shift.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth.
