About Mariya
Counsellor Mariya Majid is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps adults and young people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Mariya can also support people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, eating and body-image worries, chronic illness or pain, and family of origin problems.
Mariya uses a mix of approaches in her work. She draws on client-centred methods to focus on each person's concerns and to encourage open conversation. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas that consider how past experiences affect current feelings.
Sessions are conversational and aim to help people make sense of what they are facing. Practical ways of coping may be discussed alongside looking at deeper emotional patterns. Mariya pays attention to communication and relationship themes, including commitment, control, blended family and caregiver stress issues.
Her practice is based in the UK and she works in English. The way she works is gradual and collaborative: goals and methods are agreed with each person. Therapy may include short-term practical work or longer conversations about life patterns, depending on what a person wants to focus on.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Mariya's approaches guide online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor offers time to talk and reflects back what is said to help people clarify their feelings. This approach suits people who want space to talk things through and to find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This method is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood where people want clearer steps to manage symptoms.
Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships and early experiences influence current behaviour. Talking about recurring patterns can make sense of problems that come up again and again. This can be useful where relationship themes or attachment issues are important.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mariya will discuss goals and methods with each person and make decisions together about what to try first. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus on short-term coping or longer reflection.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow someone to check in from a quieter moment at home or during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can offer similar therapeutic options online as in person, and Mariya will explain practical arrangements when you book.
