About Maryia
Maryia Farooq is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and trauma. Maryia also supports people dealing with grief, addictive behaviours, family problems and the pressures of life transitions.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative conversation. Maryia treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Early meetings focus on what matters now and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.
Maryia helps people talk through attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating-related issues, and the strain that caregiving or health problems can bring. She is familiar with challenges such as communication problems, commitment fears and separation following divorce.
Work with Maryia typically includes short-term practical strategies alongside deeper reflection on patterns and relationships. She also supports those managing career stress, parenting strain, sleeping difficulties and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.
Sessions are conducted in English and Maryia does not currently see international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Maryia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on understanding patterns and creating practical change. One approach helps people notice recurring relationship or attachment patterns and consider different responses. This work is useful for attachment concerns, abandonment fears and communication problems.Another strand emphasises short-term, practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, sleep and cravings. These techniques give clear actions someone can try between meetings and help reduce day-to-day distress while longer topics are explored.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryia will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which techniques suit the situation. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
