Mariya Majid, BACP

Mariya Majid is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of experience supporting adults and young people through anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, work-related pressure, abuse, and experiences of racism. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or who want to move away from longtime patterns toward a more satisfying way of living.

Mariya provides a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and be heard. She adapts her approach to each person, drawing on client-centered methods that prioritise the client's own goals, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas that explore how past experiences influence present relationships and feelings.

Therapy with Mariya focuses on making sense of difficulties, building practical coping skills, and finding clarity about next steps. She holds BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - credentialing, and uses a collaborative style to help clients identify what will best support their wellbeing and personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Mariya Majid

Mariya uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment that focuses on the client's priorities and personal goals - this approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, coping with life changes, and building confidence in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be effective for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how early relationships and past experiences influence present patterns, which can be helpful for attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and recurring relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mariya works collaboratively with each client to determine what will be most helpful. Together they consider the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the approach over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, family commitments, or life changes. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access registered professionals and therapists from different locations while tailoring the format to what feels most comfortable for the client.
