About Maria Palej
With six years of professional experience, she draws on her clinical training and qualifications to guide her work. Maria holds BACP and NCPS registrations - professional credentials that reflect completed training and a commitment to recognised standards of practice. Her approach is informed by that training and tailored to each person she meets.
As an integrative practitioner, Maria uses Client-Centered methods and Psychodynamic perspectives depending on the needs of the individual rather than a single fixed model. In an initial session she gives clients space to explain why they are seeking counselling, to ask questions about the process, and to begin to decide whether therapy is the right next step. She offers support in English and Polish and practices from the United Kingdom.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s perspective leads the work; it helps people process emotions, build self-understanding, and regain confidence when facing anxiety, relationship struggles or life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns from past relationships and experiences that influence present feelings and behaviour; it can be useful for making sense of recurring difficulties, attachment concerns and deeper emotional pain. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple present-moment practices and attention skills to reduce rumination and heighten awareness, which can support people dealing with stress, intrusive thoughts or mood fluctuations.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Maria will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to suit individual needs. Registered professionals and therapists often blend approaches in this way to match the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical benefits through flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from home and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work to take place.
