Mariya Majid , BACP

Mariya Majid is a UK-based counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She welcomes frank conversation and aims to make it easier to talk about what feels hard. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday steps you can try between meetings.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can unpick patterns that keep them stuck. Mariya listens for the stories that shape how someone responds to stress and relationships. From there she works with each person to set small, achievable goals.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her combine present-focused tools with chances to understand deeper patterns. She adapts what she uses to suit the person in front of her rather than following a single method.

Mariya has three years of experience working with adults and young people. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, communication and commitment issues, and family of origin themes.

Sessions are available in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Practical matters like scheduling and fees are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mariya’s approaches work online

Mariya uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people make changes and feel understood. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to you so you feel heard and can make sense of your feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences, try methods that suit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. This helps ensure the work fits your needs rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so you can choose the format that fits your life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily routines while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
