Maria Delasaux

Maria Delasaux is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a respectful, person-led approach and helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck. Maria believes people know their own stories and brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions.

She has worked in mental health and neurodiversity settings for many years and has particular experience with trauma. That background informs how she talks about difficult experiences, including abuse and dissociation, so conversations move at a pace that feels manageable.

Maria draws on several practical approaches in her work. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the individual, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships affect the present. She also uses Solution-Focused and Somatic approaches when a more direct, skills-based focus is helpful.

People bring a wide range of concerns, from family tensions and care-related stress to issues around self-esteem, career choices and life purpose. Isolation and loneliness are listed among the difficulties she supports people with, alongside relationship and communication challenges.

Sessions aim to build coping skills, clearer thinking and practical steps the person can try between meetings. Maria encourages collaboration so the work reflects each person’s goals and strengths.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person and follows their pace. It is helpful when someone needs a listening space to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical for anxiety, low mood and for changing habits that make everyday life harder.

Psychodynamic ideas consider how earlier relationships shape current reactions. This approach can help when recurring patterns and emotional responses feel confusing or repetitive.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, on past patterns, or on immediate practical steps.

Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support, or a longer weekly session when deeper reflection is wanted. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit different rhythms and goals.
