Maria Masci , BACP

Maria Masci is a relational integrative psychotherapist who places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work. She draws on training across humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, behavioural, and social psychology to shape an approach that values connection, choice, and client pace. Maria prioritizes creating a supportive space where people can explore their experiences and regain a sense of agency over their healing journey.

She is BACP accredited - Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) - and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. Over that time she has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation challenges, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s individual needs.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and Maria positions herself as a collaborative presence in that process. She aims to learn what each client needs to receive the best possible support, moving at a pace that feels right for them.

Integrative approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low motivation.

Client-Centered Therapy places the relationship and the client's own experience at the heart of change. The therapist offers empathic listening and unconditional regard so the client can explore identity, self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose at their own pace.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relational patterns shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when addressing recurring difficulties such as attachment issues, unresolved grief, or patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria collaborates with each person to identify the methods that best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or different time zones. Working remotely with licensed professionals and therapists can increase access and continuity of care while allowing people to engage from locations that feel comfortable for them.
