About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with 11 years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in English and Portuguese and supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, grief, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger.
Maria draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. She pays attention to what people feel beneath their behaviour. That can make anger and resentment easier to name and talk about. She also uses mindfulness to help people notice tense moments and respond differently.
She brings in systemic thinking when family dynamics matter, and solution-focused techniques when people want practical next steps. Sessions often move between exploring early patterns, noticing present reactions, and trying small changes that help day-to-day. The work is conversational and reflective rather than directive.
Maria explains ideas plainly and helps clients connect them to everyday situations at work or at home. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and works with a wide range of concerns from parenting and career stress to depression and coping with life changes.
To begin people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment. Maria notes that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and that cost varies by location.
How Maria uses psychodynamic and mindfulness work online
Maria combines psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness practice in her online sessions. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and early dynamics that shape present feelings and behaviours; it helps people understand why anger or resentment may recur. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple noticing skills to spot bodily tension and strong emotions as they arise, which can reduce reactive responses and create room for different choices. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and the issues at hand, then agree which ideas to focus on. That might mean starting with practical, solution-focused steps and then looking deeper if patterns keep repeating. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises between meetings and apply new ways of responding in real situations more quickly. Registered or accredited professionals guide these choices so sessions suit a person’s day-to-day life and therapeutic aims.Areas of expertise
