Maria Delasaux

Maria Delasaux is a counsellor who draws on client-centred and trauma-informed ideas to help people navigate stressful life changes. She is a BACP member and speaks English. Maria presents a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make it easier to talk about what feels hard right now.

She uses practical conversation to look at stress, anxiety and family tensions. Sessions often focus on building confidence, managing low motivation, and working through experiences of trauma and abuse. Maria treats divorce and separation as one of the life events people bring to sessions when they need help sorting emotions and choices.

Maria blends a few ways of working rather than sticking to only one method. That can mean paying attention to how feelings show up in the body, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and returning to a person’s own goals and strengths. The mix is adapted to what an individual says works for them.

Her background includes work in mental health and neurodiversity and a decade of experience with trauma-related issues. She aims to offer a respectful space where people can make sense of what happened and plan practical next steps.

People often come to address communication problems, attachment concerns, or the strain of caregiving. Maria helps clients explore options, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build clearer ways to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens, reflects and supports clients to follow the pace that suits them. This approach is helpful for people who want a straightforward space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood where people want concrete steps to feel better.

Maria works collaboratively to find the best mix of methods for each person. She will discuss which approaches might help, adapt them to your aims, and check in about what feels useful. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a one-time decision.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or audio-only conversations if that feels preferable.
