Mariya Majid, BACP

Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and major life changes. She works with adults and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or ready to try something different. Mariya aims to provide a warm, non‑judgemental space where people can speak openly and be listened to.

Her approach blends Client‑Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy to match each person's needs. That can mean focusing on practical steps to manage anxious thoughts, looking at patterns that repeat in relationships, or talking about early life experiences that still affect day to day living.

Sessions are conversational and paced to what feels manageable. Mariya helps people make sense of feelings and develop tools for coping with stress, communication problems, body image concerns and changes such as separation or caregiving demands. She also offers support around issues linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family dynamics.

With three years of experience, she draws on different methods rather than a single technique. The aim is to find what helps a person feel clearer and more able to handle challenges. Mariya describes therapy as collaborative and practical, with space to reflect and plan.

People can expect straightforward language and a focus on real life changes. Her BACP credential is listed as provided. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through the site’s matching and booking process.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says to help them understand their own thoughts and feelings better. This approach is useful for building trust and working through relationship and self‑esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of daily life. CBT can be helpful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariya works collaboratively to decide whether to focus on practical CBT techniques, reflective psychodynamic themes or person‑centred listening. She will tailor work to a person's goals and preferences rather than starting with one fixed method.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session types are available before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time and choosing a quieter moment that suits you. Online meetings can make it easier to keep continuity during life changes, but be sure to confirm how sessions are arranged when you match with a therapist.
