Therapeutic Approaches and Online Practice

Maria draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviours; this approach helps people uncover recurring themes in their emotional life and gain deeper self-understanding. She also integrates Jungian ideas, which attend to personal meaning, inner symbols, and the search for a more integrated sense of self - useful for clients grappling with identity, emptiness, or long-standing inner conflicts. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these depth-oriented approaches to teach practical skills for staying present, managing distressing thoughts, and regulating mood in day-to-day situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that insight and practical strategies develop together, adjusting focus as progress unfolds.

Online work via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility constraints, and help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Maria uses these options to provide consistent therapeutic contact and to adapt to each client's lifestyle and circumstances.
