About Maria
Maria Fallon, BACP, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and problems with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her work often focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Maria draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns in their thoughts and behaviour. She explains how experiences from childhood and early adulthood can shape current responses. That understanding is used alongside concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits.
In practice she works part time in private practice and has experience supporting vulnerable adults fleeing violence and young adults in educational settings. She sees a range of issues brought by people from different backgrounds, and adapts the balance of support to what each person needs. Sessions mix talking about difficult events with direct tools to manage symptoms day to day.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying thought patterns, testing them out, and trying new behaviours. Maria encourages people to use small experiments between sessions to see what helps. She treats people as the expert in their own lives while offering structure and suggestions.
Her approach aims to reduce immediate distress while also looking at longer-standing patterns that keep problems going. She accepts international clients and carries a BACP credential as stated.
How CBT and psychodynamic work in online sessions
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT in brief form means noticing a thought, testing whether it is accurate, and trying a different response to see if it helps. This can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and managing urge-driven behaviours.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that go back to earlier relationships and life events. That work helps explain why someone repeats the same response and can complement the direct tools of CBT when people want to understand longer-term patterns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Maria will discuss goals and try structured exercises alongside exploration of personal history. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term symptom relief, deeper pattern work, or a mix of both.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity and try techniques in everyday settings.
