About Maaria
Maaria Aksar is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on listening with empathy and respect. She offers a calm presence for people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or major life changes. She aims to create a space where clients can be heard and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
With five years' experience in the mental health field, she has worked with people facing depression, workplace stress, relationship problems and career challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and interactive and avoids stigmatising labels. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings to the room rather than a fixed script. Maaria blends client-centred ideas with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused therapy.
That means she listens first, then offers tools to test in everyday life. Conversations can include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, small practical steps and short-term goals. People who come to her tend to want support managing overwhelming emotions, improving communication, coping with grief or navigating changes such as separation or work pressure.
She also spends time with issues like caregiver stress, body image, codependency and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Maaria works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, and helps clients decide which format suits them best.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Maaria combines a client-centred approach with targeted methods to make online work feel personal and useful. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance; the therapist offers empathy and a non-judgemental space so people can find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals to create momentum and change.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Maaria will listen to your concerns, discuss options and work with you to choose methods that match your aims and preferences. The plan can change as you learn what helps and what doesn’t work for you.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections between sessions or when written expression feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
