About Maria
BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience, Maria Prieto helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes.
Maria explains concerns plainly and listens to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on discussing difficult feelings, practical ways to manage day-to-day stress, and making sense of painful events. She offers space for people to talk about loss, guilt and shame, and to work through the effects of sexual assault, domestic violence and military-related issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Maria aims to identify small steps that reduce overwhelm and improve coping. People can expect to talk through thoughts and reactions, try simple strategies between sessions, and review what helps over time.
She works in both English and Spanish. International clients are accepted, and she practises under the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) accreditation noted above. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Maria focuses on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes, and she works with each person to set realistic goals for their therapy.

How Maria uses evidence-based approaches online
Maria works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common method involves talking through thoughts and feelings to identify patterns that increase anxiety or low mood; this helps people spot triggers and try new responses. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, helping people process painful events at a pace they can manage and reducing the ways memories disrupt daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria discusses different ways of working with each person and together they decide which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or offering a quieter setting that suits concentration. Registered or accredited professionals such as Maria can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support steady progress over time.
