About Maria
Maria Delasaux is a counsellor who uses a somatic-informed approach alongside talking therapies to help people feel steadier in their bodies and minds. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Maria welcomes straightforward conversations about stress, anxiety, family matters, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and work-related concerns.
Maria believes people know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. She helps clients notice how stress shows up in the body and links those sensations to thoughts and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to suit each person’s comfort. Her background includes work in mental health and neurodiversity and a focus on trauma-related issues. Maria draws on a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies to support clearer thinking and small, achievable steps forward.
People often come for help with attachment concerns, communication problems, caregiving stress, and difficulties that follow separation or loss. She also supports those managing dissociation, isolation and challenges connected to first responder or veteran experiences. Maria works in English and can work with international clients.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Practical information about scheduling and subscription-based sessions is provided when starting the process.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Maria uses somatic-informed work to help people notice how stress and anxiety show up in the body. This approach pays attention to bodily sensations and breathing, and it can help when trauma or chronic tension affects daily life. Client-centred therapy means sessions focus on the person’s priorities, with reflective listening and a respectful pace to help build trust and clarity.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is also part of her approach. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing workplace or family stress.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals, needs and comfort. Plans may shift over time as priorities change, and small practical steps are often used to track progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and to continue when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt somatic and talking techniques to these formats to keep sessions focused and practical.
