About Maria

Maria Cascarino is a counsellor who uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She has three years of practice and works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She aims to make starting therapy as straightforward as possible for worried parents and busy people.

Maria focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of living well. She helps people notice and change thought patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to each person so the work matches real life and real goals. Common topics Maria addresses include panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, anger and workplace stress. She also supports people with body image concerns and issues related to self-love.

Sessions may include practical strategies and steps to try between meetings. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Maria listens, asks clear questions and offers tools to manage symptoms in the moment.

She aims to break things down into small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans. If someone is unsure about therapy, Maria encourages a short conversation to talk about needs and next steps. The initial matching process helps people find an approach that fits their schedule and circumstances.

Ways of working Maria names

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Maria works mainly with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, worry about work and social fears.

The therapist treats the choice of method as a shared decision. She will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match what the person needs. Together they check progress and adapt techniques as things change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video lets people use visuals and worksheets, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging is useful for quick reflections between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family commitments and day-to-day routines.
