About Maria
Maria Khan helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and related concerns. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, mood problems and difficulties with sleep and eating. Maria speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Maria keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps that feel doable between meetings rather than overwhelming targets.
Background and approach
Her approach blends short-term practical work with attention to deeper patterns. That means combining acceptance and values-focused strategies with client-centred listening and exploration of past experiences. Hypnotherapy can be used when helpful to support relaxation and build new responses to difficult memories or habits.
Maria has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on that background to shape treatment plans with each person, explaining options and checking progress as therapy continues. People often begin by talking about one immediate problem such as panic, compulsions, relationship stress or trouble sleeping.
From there the work can expand to include underlying issues like shame, guilt or grief. Maria describes the process as collaborative - she will adapt pace and techniques to what the person needs at the time.
Therapy approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing small values-based actions anyway; it is often used for anxiety, panic and avoidance. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre, with reflective listening and empathy helping people find their own solutions. Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships, which can be useful when patterns of shame, guilt or repeated difficulties keep returning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through these options, listen to your goals, and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time as needs change, and the person stays involved in choosing what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have sessions with clear visual contact; phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
