Maria Delasaux

Maria Delasaux is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience listed for this profile. She works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Maria also notes a focus on life purpose alongside related concerns such as attachment issues and caregiver stress.

Maria frames therapy around the client's own knowledge of their life. She uses approaches that centre the person's experience and practical steps to ease distress. Sessions can involve looking at thoughts and behaviours, reflecting on past patterns, and noticing how the body reacts to stress.

Her background includes work with neurodiversity and trauma, and she has spent time supporting people through difficult life events. Maria combines talking-based methods with attention to physical responses when that seems useful. This gives space for both present problems and their roots.

People meet to talk through immediate problems and to consider small, practical changes. She may use solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and cognitive behavioural techniques to test unhelpful thoughts. Psychodynamic-style reflection can be used to understand repeated patterns that keep causing pain.

Maria describes the client as expert in their own story and works collaboratively to find manageable steps. Her approach aims to be straightforward and paced to what the person can handle. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's experience back so they can clarify what matters. It helps with feeling stuck, low confidence, and making decisions by putting the client's perspective at the centre.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, stress and testing out new ways of coping.

Somatic Therapy attends to how the body holds tension and stress. It can be helpful when anxiety or trauma shows up as physical symptoms or when words alone feel insufficient.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences, and to adjust things as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter contact is needed. They can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
