Mariya Majid, BACP

Mariya Majid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with adults and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or not quite themselves and wants to support them in finding clearer direction and relief.

Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the person. Mariya listens for patterns, feelings and practical obstacles, then helps people test small changes that may make daily life easier.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s experience and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used for practical tools around unhelpful thoughts and behaviour. Psychodynamic Therapy helps look at past patterns that keep repeating now.

Mariya aims to create an inclusive, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Therapy sessions are steady and paced to what each person can manage. She encourages clear goals while remaining flexible about how they are reached.

With three years of experience, Mariya balances emotional listening with concrete steps. She supports people to make sense of difficult feelings, reduce overwhelm and try new ways of coping. The hope is to increase understanding and help people move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

How Mariya’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience, offering a supportive space to talk things through and set priorities. This approach helps people clarify what they want from therapy and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and mood problems. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings and relationships.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, and together you can decide which methods feel most helpful. That may mean using a mix of approaches and adapting them over time as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or enabling shorter check-ins during a workday. It also allows steady continuity when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on practical tools and talking through patterns that matter to you.
