Maria Cascarino, BACP

Maria Cascarino is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges. She approaches each person as an individual, tailoring sessions to address issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and career-related concerns while also working with body image, panic disorder, social anxiety, women's issues, and workplace difficulties. Using evidence-informed CBT methods, she helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviour cycles and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms and respond to life stressors more effectively.

Maria recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. She focuses on collaborative goal setting and skill-building so that people leave sessions with concrete strategies they can practice between meetings. Maria holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes a recognised professional association in the UK. She welcomes conversations from anyone curious about therapy or ready to begin a therapeutic journey and is open to discussing how her approach can be tailored to individual needs.
