About Mariya
Mariya Majid is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Mariya also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, eating issues, communication problems, and family of origin matters.
Her sessions are direct and conversational. She helps people name what feels difficult and notice unhelpful patterns. Mariya draws on client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person in front of her and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to work on practical changes in thinking and behaviour. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns that influence current feelings and relationships.
In practice she balances short-term tools with deeper reflection. That might mean working on coping skills for managing anxiety one week and looking at attachment history the next. She aims to make the practical steps clear, so people can try them between sessions and feed back what helps.
Mariya listens for themes that repeat in someone’s life. From there she and the client plan small, realistic goals and test what works. Sessions can be a place to sort priorities, improve communication, and deal with changes like separation, illness, or shifting family roles.
She offers support for concerns linked to neurodiversity, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness. Mariya works in English and is based in the UK.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to lead the conversation. It suits people who want a space to be heard and to explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours. Psychodynamic Therapy considers how past experiences and repeating patterns shape present difficulties, which can help with relationship and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mariya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can change over time as needs shift and more is learned about what helps.
Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts at work or commuting, and it can reduce time spent travelling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy, while others use longer sessions for deeper reflection. Discussing practicalities early helps shape sessions that fit everyday life without assuming a particular format.
