About Mariya
Mariya Majid helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She welcomes conversation about how past hurts or current pressures are affecting daily life. Mariya works to make talking about hard things feel manageable and straightforward.
She keeps sessions centred on the person in front of her. That means listening first, then using ways of working that fit each person’s needs.
How Mariya works
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to offer practical and reflective support. Mariya trained and practises with an emphasis on warmth and acceptance. She aims to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping.
Discussions might cover relationships, attachment, family of origin issues, or feelings of emptiness. Her work also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment fears, communication problems, body image, eating and food-related issues, chronic pain or illness, and caregiver stress. Mariya supports people managing life events like divorce, separation, or changes in commitment and responsibility.
Sessions can explore how autism, avoidant personality traits, or blended family situations shape daily experience. Mariya offers a steady space to name what is difficult and to try out different ways of moving forward. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with a focus on personal goals and practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Mariya uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s experience and to create space for honest conversation. That approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own direction when they feel stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try small, practical changes. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and difficulties that feel stuck in daily habits.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that have grown from earlier relationships and life events. This approach can help people understand where deep-seated feelings come from and how those patterns affect current relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Mariya will discuss options and adapt the way of working to match personal goals, preferences and the issues being raised. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit a quiet break or need less data, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to schedule therapy around work and family commitments and to keep momentum between sessions.
