About Maria

Maria Monk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions and parenting worries. Maria also helps people facing life changes, grief, anger or career uncertainty.

Her sessions aim to be relaxed and down-to-earth. She encourages honest talking and listens without judgement. The focus is on finding small, practical steps that feel manageable for each person.

Background and approach

Maria draws on several psychological approaches to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still act in line with their values. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early bonds shape current relationships.

Client-Centred practice means the person sets the agenda and the counsellor follows their lead. She has five years of experience working with a broad range of concerns. Maria is comfortable addressing issues such as depression, caregiver stress, blended family challenges and relationship separation.

She also supports people dealing with guilt, forgiveness, self-worth and questions about life purpose. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Conversations are simple and focused on what matters to the person in front of her.

Maria helps clients take steady steps toward clearer thinking and healthier coping.

Ways of working Maria names

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

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty when decisions feel hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication; it can be useful for people dealing with trust, closeness or repeated relationship pain.

Maria blends these approaches with Client-Centred work where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. She uses the mix to tailor sessions to what each person needs and prefers. Finding the right approach is part of the early work together, and Maria helps clients decide what feels most useful as goals emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or mobility needs while keeping the focus on steady progress.
