Maria Masci, BACP

Maria Masci is a relational integrative psychotherapist working from the United Kingdom who centers the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She holds BACP accreditation - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. Drawing on a broad training that includes humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, behavioural, and social psychology, she adapts methods to suit each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Maria focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, as well as relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to ADHD, addictions, and mood disorders. Her practice also addresses topics such as attachment and abandonment, communication difficulties, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, social anxiety, and women’s issues. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique circumstances of each individual.

Recognizing that reaching out for support takes courage, Maria approaches therapy at the client’s pace and collaborates to help people reclaim choice and direction in their lives. She welcomes international clients and offers flexible ways to work together to support personal growth and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take practical steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the process. This approach supports emotional exploration, self-acceptance, and strengthening self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to connect across distances. These options allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists while supporting continuity of care and convenient scheduling.
