About Maria

Maria Fallon helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation problems and difficulties with sleep or eating. Maria’s approach is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow.

She has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, which she uses as a professional reference for practice. Maria splits her time between private practice and roles supporting vulnerable adults who have fled violence, and she also works with young adults in educational settings. This range has given her familiarity with different life situations and stresses.

Maria draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences shape current patterns. Sessions mix talking, practical strategies and gentle reflection.

In appointments she aims to build a calm, straightforward space where people can make sense of what they are going through. She encourages clients to set small, useful goals and to notice changes between sessions. Maria describes therapy as a collaborative process and sees the person as the expert in their own life.

People seeking help with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, addiction or career stress may find her approach relevant. If someone wants to explore attachment or communication problems, Maria offers an atmosphere to work through those issues at a steady pace.

Working online with CBT and psychodynamic ideas

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT gives clear steps people can use between sessions for issues such as anxiety, sleep problems or low mood.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that began earlier in life and that still affect current relationships and self-view. This approach can help when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties rather than only change symptoms.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process, and Maria treats this as a collaborative task. She will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best for each person.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who want to use written notes or email between sessions to keep momentum. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt their methods to what works in the online setting, and Maria will help tailor the approach to individual needs.
