About Mariya

Mariya Majid works on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses a mix of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and client-centred approaches and has three years of experience. Mariya is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She offers straightforward talking therapy for adults and young people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of difficult emotions and patterns. Practical coping strategies are used alongside exploring past experiences that affect current relationships and feelings.

Mariya draws on client-centred practice to create a respectful, non-judgemental setting where people can speak openly. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic ideas support work on deeper patterns linked to past relationships and family of origin.

Work often begins with an assessment of what is causing most distress and what a person hopes to change. The therapist and client agree clear goals and try practical steps between sessions. Sessions can include talking, reflection and short exercises to try at home.

Mariya has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the BACP. She works in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and practical details through the service booking process.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them speak about feelings and life events in their own words. This approach supports people who need to be heard and understood before practical steps are introduced.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems. In sessions, this often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small experiments, and practising new ways of coping between meetings. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Psychodynamic ideas help trace recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings. This can be useful when people want to understand long-standing difficulties or family of origin issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online counselling make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to reduce travel time. The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations where appropriate, helping therapy fit around work, caring duties and everyday life.
