Mariya Majid, BACP

Mariya Majid helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers a warm, non-judgemental space where adults and young people can talk honestly about what is hard right now.

People often come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Mariya listens closely and asks practical questions to help make sense of patterns that keep causing pain. She uses clear, straightforward language so conversations stay useful and grounded.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to the present moment, the thoughts that feed distress, and the past patterns that shape how someone reacts now. Sessions combine listening with gentle challenge and practical tools for change.

Mariya has three years of experience supporting people through issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image, eating issues, communication and commitment problems, and separation or divorce. She aims to adapt the style of therapy to each person rather than following a single method.

Therapy with Mariya is collaborative: she will help you set goals and review progress as you go. If you want to start, follow the site process to match with her and pick times that suit your schedule.

How Mariya’s approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience as you describe it. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to explore feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to past relationships and repeated patterns that still affect how someone feels and behaves now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariya will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and check in to see what is working or needs to change.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and removing commuting time so you can use a short break for a check-in. Online sessions can also make it simpler to attend when physical mobility or chronic illness makes travel difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone or another format is being offered.
