Maisie Conetta, BACP

Maisie Conetta is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. Maisie aims to make the first steps less daunting and to support people as they look for clearer direction and more balance in life.

She helps clients manage big life changes and the day-to-day pressures that pile up. That includes practical support around motivation, confidence, addictions and career concerns. Maisie also offers help with grief, anger and compassion fatigue, and she works with people facing bipolar challenges.

Relationship and communication difficulties are another area she addresses, along with attachment issues, body image and social anxiety. People report talking through control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation when they seek her help. She also supports those trying to build self-love and a sense of life purpose.

Maisie approaches each conversation by recognising the person as the expert in their own life. She looks for strengths to build on and practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This credential indicates a professional registration with that organisation. Maisie offers support in English and accepts clients internationally through online formats.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical ways to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach involves identifying current thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to see what helps; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and social fears. Another approach focuses on improving emotional understanding and attachment - helping people recognise how past relationships shape their reactions and build skills to relate differently when under stress.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that suit the person and adjust them over time if needed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
