About Mariya

Mariya Majid is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and body image or eating-related struggles.

Her sessions focus on talking through what feels stuck and noticing patterns that keep repeating. Mariya uses a mix of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people name difficult feelings and test small, practical changes. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what the person can manage.

She pays attention to how early relationships can shape current problems and how thoughts and behaviours keep them going. In practice this means reflecting on past experiences, and also trying exercises that change day-to-day thinking and coping. Sessions balance listening with practical steps when that is useful.

Mariya works with issues such as attachment, communication problems, commitment worries, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people navigating autism or Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns and family of origin questions. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that considers both history and current life demands.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence emotions and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety and day-to-day coping strategies.

Psychodynamic approaches pay attention to how earlier relationships shape present behaviour and emotional responses. This can help uncover recurring patterns like attachment or abandonment concerns and link them to current relationship struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the provided profile, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow a person to work with a registered professional in the UK without commuting, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure appointments to suit everyday life.
