About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a counsellor who blends psychodynamic ideas with depth work to help people make sense of painful patterns. She holds BACP registration, and she speaks English and Portuguese. Maria aims to help people understand how early relationships, beliefs and emotions shape daily life and choices.
Her approach encourages slow, thoughtful reflection that links past experiences to present difficulties. She uses Jungian ideas about symbols and personal meaning to help people notice repeating themes. Mindfulness practices are used to calm racing thoughts and anchor attention in the moment.
Maria works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career strain, and major life changes such as divorce or separation. Financial and money-related worries are among the topics she addresses in sessions.
Over eleven years of practice have shaped a gentle, patient style. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Solution-Focused and Systemic ideas are drawn on to identify practical steps while keeping sight of deeper patterns.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through in either English or Portuguese. Maria encourages open conversation about hopes and goals so therapy can be tailored to the individual’s needs and values.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Maria uses psychodynamic work to help people notice recurring patterns and links between past experiences and current feelings. This approach often involves reflecting on relationships and life stories to uncover hidden themes that influence behaviour.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage anxiety and racing thoughts. Mindfulness teaches simple attention exercises that can be used between sessions to reduce stress and improve sleep. Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning are used to explore deeper personal themes and issues such as abandonment, attachment and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining reflective psychodynamic exploration with practical Solution-Focused steps to tackle immediate problems like financial worries or work stress.
