About Maria-Ann
Maria-Ann Bulley is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of practice. She works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with stress, self-esteem problems and life transitions.
Maria-Ann uses straightforward talking and practical exercises to help people notice patterns that make problems worse. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and client-centred ways of working to keep sessions focused and practical. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and small changes that make everyday life easier.
Her approach is direct and respectful. She offers short exercises, simple behavioural tasks and reflective conversation. These tools are chosen to help with sleep difficulties, anger, career worries and issues linked to adoption, caregiving or chronic illness.
Over two decades of practice have included work with people affected by domestic violence, fertility and fatherhood concerns, first responder issues, and end-of-life and hospice-related matters. Maria-Ann also supports LGBT clients and those facing separation or infidelity.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Practical steps for starting are described in the online section below, including a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How online sessions use practical approaches
Maria-Ann draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises clear, short-term goals and small steps that build momentum toward practical improvements.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Generally online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try structured CBT tasks between sessions and review progress with their counsellor in a practical way.
