About Maria

Maria Fallon works with stress, anxiety, family concerns and trauma and abuse, and she uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic approaches in her practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Maria offers practical conversation and reflection. Sessions often look at patterns that developed in childhood and early adulthood and how these affect current relationships and behaviour. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different ways of responding when needed.

Her work has included supporting people fleeing violence and helping young adults with mental health in educational settings. She also runs part-time private practice work alongside those roles, so she is used to working with a range of backgrounds and concerns.

In a typical session Maria will listen to what matters most to the person, work collaboratively on clear goals, and use both short-term techniques and deeper reflective work. That means some weeks focus on practical steps and coping strategies, and other weeks look at longer-standing patterns and their origins.

People come to Maria for many reasons including low mood, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, parenting strain, grief, sexual assault and abuse, and issues around identity and intimacy. She aims to help people develop clearer ways of coping, improved communication, and stronger self-understanding.

How Maria combines approaches in online counselling

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in thinking and behaviour; this can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships and life events shape current patterns, which can help when people want to understand long-standing relationship or attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maria discusses the persons goals and preferences and then agrees a plan that may mix practical CBT techniques with slower reflective sessions. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins when someone cannot attend in person. If a shorter check-in or a session without video would suit, discuss this when arranging the first appointment so the session can fit the person's daily routine.
