Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Support
Maria Malone uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person's needs. One strand of her work focuses on practical strategies to recognise and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, helping reduce symptoms and support day-to-day coping. Another strand emphasises trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches that explore past experiences and relationship patterns to process distress and improve relational functioning. A strengths-based, collaborative approach supports self-esteem and builds resilience by identifying existing resources and developing new skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their goals, values, and preferences. She tailors the plan as therapy progresses so that techniques remain relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility constraints, and enable regular sessions that fit into everyday life while maintaining the continuity of care provided by registered professionals.
