About Mariya

Mariya Majid is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Mariya also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

Mariya keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through feelings and patterns that get in the way. She uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, and psychodynamic thinking to match the approach to each person.

In sessions she might help a client spot unhelpful thinking, practise clearer communication, or look back at relationship patterns that repeat. She explains ideas in plain language and suggests small steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on clearer thinking and everyday coping rather than technical language.

Mariya has worked with people who describe anxiety, trauma, struggles with identity, and difficult life transitions. She acknowledges concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, and the strain of caregiving or chronic health issues. This range feeds into flexible ways of working rather than a single method.

People who choose her can expect a steady, open approach that aims to make problems feel more manageable. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and book an initial session.

How Mariya applies approaches in online sessions

Mariya works with client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person make sense of their feelings. It is useful for building trust and exploring current concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Psychodynamic work helps identify repeated relationship patterns and where they may come from.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariya will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps keep sessions relevant and focused on what the client hopes to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also help people continue work when life or location changes, while enabling use of written tools and exercises between meetings.
