Mariya Majid, BACP

Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports adults and young people through common midlife and life-stage concerns. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with big life changes. Mariya offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and be heard.

She works in a straightforward way. Conversations focus on what feels stuck and what can change. Mariya draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters to the person in the room. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Sessions are practical and reflective. Some sessions focus on short-term coping skills, and others look deeper at long-standing issues. Mariya aims to help people spot patterns, try small changes, and build clearer next steps.

With three years of experience she has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, blended family worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, control and commitment struggles, eating and food-related issues, and family of origin matters.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Mariya’s Approaches Work Online

Mariya uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that fit online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what each person brings. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers clear steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress. It is useful for practical problems like worry, sleep disruption or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and then agree together which methods to try. That might mean mixing short-term skill building with deeper reflection over time to suit changing needs.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and offer more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for a shorter check-in when days are busy or a quieter conversation when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often tailor session length and pacing so therapy fits everyday life without asking for major changes.
