Maria Lawrence, BACP

Maria Lawrence is an integrative counsellor who works collaboratively to tailor her support to each person's needs. She draws from a wide range of therapeutic disciplines and evidence-based techniques so that interventions fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution. By working together, Maria helps clients recognise the issues affecting their wellbeing, clarify meaningful goals, and explore practical steps toward a happier, more peaceful, and more fulfilled way of living. She brings four years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP, a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Maria offers a non-judgemental, empathic, and respectful space in which people can examine current difficulties or patterns from the past that feel limiting. She supports clients in considering different perspectives and potential solutions, helping them build resilience and find ways to move forward. The emphasis is on a safe, collaborative process that meets each person where they are and adapts as needs evolve.

Integrative and Evidence-Based Support Online

Maria Lawrence practises an integrative approach that blends techniques from different therapeutic disciplines to meet each person's unique needs. This means she adapts methods and tools to the individual rather than relying on a single model, which can be helpful for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, or life transitions.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, using approaches that have been shown to support symptom reduction and improved coping. These practical methods focus on identifying patterns, developing skills, and building strategies for everyday challenges, making them useful for a range of issues from mood concerns to interpersonal problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions offer practical benefits - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging for flexibility. This range of options helps make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives while preserving a collaborative relationship with a licensed professional.
