About Maria
Maria Fallon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation, and related concerns such as anger and relationship strain.
She meets people from varied backgrounds and has supported adults fleeing violence as well as young adults in educational settings. Maria works part time in private practice and draws on those different roles when helping people sort through current problems.
Her approach links present difficulties with earlier life experiences. She explains how patterns formed in childhood and early adulthood can shape reactions today. That way of thinking is used to identify habits and responses someone wants to change.
Maria also uses practical thinking strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions can look at immediate steps to reduce stress and improve sleep or focus on longer term patterns that keep returning.
She aims to treat people as the expert on their own story and to build on existing strengths. The emphasis is on clear, doable steps and on understanding the reasons behind repeated reactions such as recurring anger or resentment.
People can expect a mix of exploring life history and working on practical coping strategies. The result is work that addresses both the roots of a problem and the habits that keep it in place.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on current problems like stress, sleep issues and anger outbursts, with clear strategies to try between sessions.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships and childhood experiences influence present reactions. That work helps people spot recurring patterns and understand where repeated anger or resentment may come from.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match approach and pace to the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether more practical CBT techniques or deeper psychodynamic reflection suits the issue at hand.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life and can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not need video if that helps with focus or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that aim to fit therapy into everyday life without forcing major schedule changes.
