Maria Casson Greco, BACP

Maria Casson Greco is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with 11 years of clinical experience, based in the United Kingdom. She works with English and Portuguese speakers within the UK, helping people deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships in the workplace, within families, and among friends.

Trained in psychodynamic approaches, Maria supports clients in exploring patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour that can arise from past experiences and attachments. Her work emphasises greater self-awareness and the development of inner resources - helping clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Maria holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signifies professional affiliation with a recognised counselling body. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers a nonjudgmental space for people to express themselves and consider deeper personal and spiritual questions. Those interested in learning more or beginning work with her are invited to make contact to discuss whether her approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maria integrates psychodynamic, Jungian, and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients understand and work through emotional difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviours - it is often helpful for long-standing relationship issues, attachment problems, and repeating life patterns.

Jungian therapy attends to symbolic material, personal meaning, and deeper aspects of the self, supporting clients who are exploring identity, purpose, or spiritual dimensions alongside psychological concerns. Mindfulness therapy offers practical techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adapt methods as work progresses.

Online therapy with Maria is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access regular support without travel, while allowing the therapist and client to maintain continuity of care across life changes.
