Maria Fallon, BACP

Maria Fallon helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and family concerns. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her work covers a wide range of issues including addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and career challenges.

Maria draws on five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She spends part of her time in independent practice and has worked supporting vulnerable adults fleeing violence. She has also supported young adults with mental health needs in educational settings.

Her approach balances practical techniques with a focus on past experiences that shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to uncover and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice links between earlier experiences and present reactions.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Maria treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and works alongside them to set goals. She offers a space to talk things through, try out new ways of responding and build on existing strengths.

People come for a focused short-term plan or a longer conversation about recurring patterns. Maria explains options and helps each person choose what feels most useful. She encourages practical steps that fit everyday life while holding attention to deeper issues that matter.

How Maria's approaches translate to online therapy

Maria uses cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting and altering unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences affect current patterns, useful for understanding recurring relationship or attachment difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide whether short-term practical techniques or a longer exploration of patterns suits their goals. She shapes the plan around what the individual wants to change and what feels manageable for them.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel time and allowing more flexible appointment times. Others appreciate being able to choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when that works better for their day. Registered or accredited professionals can use different approaches online, and Maria will discuss which format best supports the therapeutic goals during the initial planning conversation.
