Mariya Henderson

Mariya Henderson supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict and eating and food-related issues. She also helps with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and life changes. Mariya aims to create a calm space where people can talk and feel heard without judgement. Mariya has nine years of experience working as a therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach as her core style, which means she listens closely and follows what each person brings to the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, and attachment-based ideas when these fit the client’s needs. Her sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflective conversation. People can expect straightforward language, manageable goals and a plan that reflects their priorities. Mariya pays attention to family background, communication patterns and body image when these are relevant to the concerns presented. She has worked with issues such as abandonment, fatherhood questions, immigration-related stress and problems with trust or control. Mariya also supports people dealing with anger, bipolar mood challenges and the aftermath of separation or divorce. Sessions are offered in English and Russian. Mariya works with people from different countries and adapts her approach to individual life circumstances.

How Mariya’s approaches work online

Mariya draws on person-centred work, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help with common problems. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own way forward. Attachment-based ideas look at early relationship patterns and how they affect current trust and closeness issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mariya will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel like a good fit. This collaborative process helps make sure sessions address the issues that matter most. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Please confirm the session formats that are currently offered before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work useful for keeping continuity of care and for reaching people who live far from clinic locations.
