About Maria
Maria Khan helps people troubled by stress, anxiety, loss, low self-esteem and difficult life changes. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu to support clients from diverse backgrounds. Maria’s aim is to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about reaching out.
She works with issues including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias and postpartum depression.
How Maria works
Additional focus areas include body image, multicultural concerns and isolation or loneliness. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Maria adapts the pace to each person and builds a plan together.
She uses clients' own goals to guide what happens in sessions rather than a fixed script. Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses client-centred work to create a respectful, empathetic space.
Psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy may be offered when they suit a person’s needs. Maria has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She practises with sensitivity to cultural background and personal history.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timetable.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters rather than trying to eliminate thoughts.Client-Centred Therapy centres on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace. This approach is helpful for building trust, exploring feelings and improving self-esteem through steady, supportive conversation.
Maria views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggest options and try different methods to see what fits best. Together they review progress and adapt the plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
