Maria Fallon , BACP

Maria Fallon is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience working with people managing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She combines practical support and reflective exploration to help clients identify patterns that get in the way of wellbeing and move toward healthier ways of coping and relating.

Her work spans part-time private practice and roles supporting vulnerable adults who have fled violence in their home country, as well as helping young adults navigate mental health challenges in educational settings. This variety of experience means she is familiar with a wide range of life circumstances and cultural backgrounds, and she adapts her approach to the needs that each person brings to therapy.

Maria believes many present difficulties are connected to earlier experiences in childhood and young adulthood, and that understanding these links can open up opportunities to change unhelpful patterns. She sees people as the experts on their own stories and seeks to build on existing strengths while offering new perspectives and tools.

Maria holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and uses evidence-informed approaches to support clients through change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Maria Fallon

Maria Fallon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress - and Psychodynamic Therapy - a reflective approach that explores how early relationships and life experiences influence current feelings, relationships and patterns. Each approach offers different tools: CBT tends to focus on skills and present-focused change, while psychodynamic work looks at deeper patterns and emotional meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques together, and adapt the pace and focus as the work develops.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from services. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit around work, family and other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can provide structured, effective support through these formats while tailoring the experience to each client's comfort and practical needs.
