Mariya Majid helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, or major life changes. She works with adults who are ready to talk about what’s not working and try new ways of coping. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

Mariya offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak frankly about painful events and confusing patterns. She listens for themes that repeat in relationships and day-to-day life.

Background and approach

That helps spot small, practical shifts that can bring relief. She draws on client-centred methods to make sessions feel collaborative and focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way and need practical tools.

Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Mariya has three years of experience working with adults and young people on a wide range of issues. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment issues, and family of origin themes.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. The therapist follows standards set by the BACP, which is listed as her credential. People who prefer online formats can choose video, phone, chat or text-based messaging.

Approaches online that help with patterns and practical change

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s own goals and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help clarify decisions and feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, supportive space to sort through what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often chosen for anxiety, stress and difficulties where learning new habits and coping strategies is helpful.

Psychodynamic ideas focus on how past experiences can shape current reactions and relationships, helping to bring awareness to repeated patterns that cause distress.

Mariya works collaboratively to find the best fit between approach and need, and will discuss what feels useful as therapy progresses. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on practical skills, patterns from the past, or a mix of both.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy or complex lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can help people who prefer to write between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily routines and keep continuity when in-person appointments are difficult.
