Maria Casson Greco, BACP

Maria Casson Greco is a BACP counsellor who draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of painful patterns. She works in English and Portuguese and focuses on relationships, grief, self‑esteem, anxiety, stress and a wide range of life challenges. Her approach aims to help people understand why they react the way they do and find more choice in everyday life.

Maria has practised for 11 years, using depth-oriented thinking alongside practical techniques. She links early relationship experiences and attachment patterns to present difficulties. That can be useful when dealing with jealousy, codependency, abandonment or family of origin issues.

Alongside psychodynamic work she uses Jungian perspectives and mindfulness to bring awareness to feelings and bodily experience. Solution-focused ideas are introduced when clients want concrete steps or short-term goals. Systemic thinking helps map how family and work systems influence current problems.

Sessions aim to balance understanding with practical support. People who come to her often want help with intimacy-related issues, eating or sleeping struggles, parenting stress, addiction concerns, trauma and complex feelings like guilt and shame. Maria also supports people managing bipolar, depression and major life changes.

Her practice describes a non-judgemental space for exploring difficult material and developing coping strategies. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How psychodynamic and mindfulness work online

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions, useful for problems like jealousy, codependency and attachment worries. Jungian ideas add attention to dreams, symbols and inner life, helping people name deeper themes that feel hard to reach.

Mindfulness practices bring attention to present-moment experience and bodily sensations. These techniques can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm. Together with solution-focused steps, this mix supports both insight and practical change in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaboration. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That joint planning can involve trying different ways of working until a good fit is found.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pacing, homework and session structure to suit everyday life.
