About Maria
BACP. 11 years' experience. Maria Casson Greco works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Portuguese. She describes herself as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and draws on several therapy approaches to help people understand themselves and their relationships.
Maria focuses on relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses, anger, career questions, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she lists include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
Her stated approach centres on understanding deeper patterns and meanings in a person's life. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring feelings and relationships and how earlier experiences affect current behaviour. Maria also uses Jungian ideas about symbols and the unconscious, mindfulness practices to increase moment-to-moment awareness, systemic thinking about relationships, and solution-focused techniques for concrete goals.
Sessions are described in client-centred terms, with attention to both emotional material and practical changes. She says she works with people to explore difficult feelings and to make sense of personal conflicts. That can include talking through family of origin issues, separation and divorce, fatherhood challenges, and forgiveness work.
Her profile notes a professional orientation and experience rather than specific training certificates beyond the BACP credential. For session formats, booking details and current practical arrangements, confirm the available options before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Maria uses psychodynamic therapy to look at repeated feelings and relationship patterns. This approach helps when past experiences seem to shape current reactions and interpersonal problems.She also draws on Jungian Therapy, which works with symbols and unconscious material to deepen self-understanding, and Mindfulness Therapy, which focuses on simple attention practices to reduce stress and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work with the client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the work over time in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief appointment is preferable, or for sessions without video when point-to-point conversation is enough.
