About Mariya

Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like themselves again. Mariya aims to help people find clarity and practical ways to move forward.

Her way of working combines client-centred approaches with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions often focus on what matters to the client now, spotting thought patterns that keep problems going, and looking at past experiences that shape current feelings. Mariya adapts the mix to fit each person rather than using one rigid method.

She also pays attention to issues linked to attachment and abandonment, and supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image concerns and communication or commitment worries. Mariya will talk through what is most important to address and set simple, realistic steps to try between sessions.

Mariya holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown on her profile. She has three years of experience working with adults across a range of common difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect the needs a person brings to therapy.

To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a therapist and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and appointment times.

How Mariya's approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. It helps people who need a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and unhelpful behaviour patterns because it offers clear steps to test and change those patterns.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to how earlier experiences and relationships shape current reactions. This can help when someone wants to understand recurring emotional patterns and long-standing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use, based on goals and what feels comfortable. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

When booking, confirm the session formats offered for this counsellor. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be helpful for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting that fits around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor length and pacing to suit each person's circumstances so therapy integrates with everyday routines.
