About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works in English and Portuguese and helps people who are facing relationship strain, family difficulties, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting stresses.
She listens for how early relationships and patterns show up now. Sessions often look at attachment, abandonment feelings and family of origin issues. Maria uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see repeated patterns that affect their daily life and relationships.
Mindfulness practices are also part of her way of working. Simple attention exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and anger so people can make clearer decisions. She combines this with solution-focused techniques to plan small, practical steps for change when someone wants concrete strategies.
Systemic thinking informs how she talks about family problems and parenthood. That means she considers relationships and roles around a person rather than treating difficulties in isolation. This can be useful for addressing communication problems, fatherhood issues, and feelings tied to divorce or separation.
Maria will often invite reflection on body image, codependency, control issues and emotions like guilt and shame. She also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, addictions, trauma and compassion fatigue, helping them find ways to cope day to day. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Maria’s approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can give time to reflect on patterns such as attachment issues, abandonment feelings and family of origin dynamics.Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and emotional regulation. These practices can be used between sessions to help manage stress, anger and impulsive responses.
Solution-focused work focuses on small, practical steps and clear goals. It helps when someone wants brief, action-oriented ways to change a routine or improve communication at home.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that suit the person's needs. That approach can change as work progresses.
The site’s booking flow asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps with time or concentration.
