Maria Levenfiche , BACP

Maria Levenfiche is a UK-based therapist with eight years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating and parenting challenges, self-esteem and career issues, and ADHD.

Her practice also includes focused work on abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image and commitment concerns, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility and fatherhood issues, family of origin difficulties, and drug and alcohol addiction. Maria emphasizes the strengths each person brings to their story and treats clients as experts in their own lives while offering professional guidance to help navigate change.

She values the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and aims to support and empower individuals through practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a compassionate and collaborative manner. Her approach centers on building resilience, clarifying goals, and developing skills that contribute to meaningful, lasting change.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill building to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and mood difficulties. These skills-based interventions teach tools for coping with overwhelming feelings, improving daily functioning, and reducing symptoms through structured exercises and practice that can be applied between sessions.

She also applies attachment- and relationship-focused work to address communication problems, intimacy concerns, blended family dynamics, and patterns rooted in early relationships. This approach helps clients identify recurring interaction patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to partners, children, and family members. For clients affected by trauma and abuse, trauma-informed methods are used to pace the work, process difficult experiences, and restore a sense of safety and agency over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Maria will work with each person to identify goals, assess what helps most, and adjust techniques to fit the client’s needs, priorities, and preferences. Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
