About Mariya
Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with adults and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of step with themselves. Mariya offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and be heard.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what is most worrying right now while also looking at patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Mariya draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person's experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change them. She also brings psychodynamic thinking into therapy to help uncover recurring themes from past relationships that affect daily life now.
That can help explain why someone keeps returning to the same difficulties and open up new ways of responding. Mariya aims to match methods to each person rather than following a fixed plan.
With three years of experience she has worked with a broad mix of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, blended family and family of origin matters, body image and eating concerns, and chronic pain or illness related stress. She also supports people dealing with autism and Asperger Syndrome and personality-related challenges such as avoidant traits.
Mariya offers sessions in English and works online using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She is registered with the BACP and practices in the UK. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens actively, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can help with feeling understood and building confidence to make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It works well for anxiety, stress and problem-solving in day-to-day life by giving clear, practical tools to try between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and early influences that affect present behaviour. That can be useful for understanding why certain difficulties keep coming up and for shifting long-standing habits.
Mariya treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to agree a plan together and then review how well it is working over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text messaging is useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between appointments.
