About Maria
Maria Masci is a relational integrative psychotherapist with six years of professional experience. She works from a humanistic standpoint and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her practice. Maria aims to help people feel heard and understood while they take steps towards change.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Maria says she brings respect, sensitivity and compassion to sessions. She prefers to tailor conversations and plans to each person's situation and pace.
Background and approach
Maria works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and self-esteem. She also offers support around ADHD, addictions, grief and parenting strains. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, impulsivity, isolation and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
Her style blends practical and reflective methods. That means talking through immediate steps to ease distress, alongside looking at patterns and past experience that shape feelings now. Sessions aim to give choice and control back to the person seeking help.
Maria speaks English and Portuguese and practices from the United Kingdom. If you are considering therapy she encourages taking the first step at a pace that feels manageable.

How Maria works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to see which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean using different ideas at different times, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirm what formats are offered and how appointments are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around other commitments. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these approaches for remote conversation to focus on practical coping, emotional clarity and forward steps.
