Mariya Majid

Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She works with adults and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they have lost direction. Mariya aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and be heard.

Her style is calm and collaborative. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client’s needs. She listens for patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and offers practical ways to test new approaches between meetings.

Mariya draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix allows her to focus on present difficulties while also looking at the roots of recurring problems. She helps people make sense of their reactions, try small changes, and reflect on what matters to them.

Across sessions she pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and how past experiences shape current behaviour. She also works with issues like body image, eating and food-related concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress when these affect day-to-day wellbeing.

Mariya holds BACP and has three years of clinical experience. People who choose her often want straightforward support that blends talking, practical tools, and reflection to move forward in small, manageable steps.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and offering acceptance so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to decide what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and body image or eating-related concerns where small experiments and homework make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a session during a shorter break. If you are considering working online, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to combine talking, practical tasks, and reflection while helping clients progress from week to week.
