Maria Khan
Calm practical support for life’s hard moments
About Maria
Maria Khan helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, difficulties with eating or sleeping, anger, and major life changes. Her work includes compassion fatigue and a wide range of related concerns such as social anxiety and panic attacks.
Maria uses simple, down-to-earth language in sessions. She focuses on what matters to each person and adapts the conversation to fit their needs.
Background and approach
She aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people can talk without judgement. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means she often helps people notice unhelpful patterns, connect with their values, and practise small changes that feel doable.
Sessions can include talking, reflective exercises and guided techniques. Maria has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and can speak English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.
She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Clients choose the format that fits their life and Maria will help tailor the plan.
Getting started is straightforward and can be done online.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters to you and helps you take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, listening-led approach where the counsellor follows your lead and helps you find your own solutions; it suits people who want a gentle space to talk and be heard. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, sleep, and some forms of anxiety and stress, often as a complement to talking work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria will work together with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the day, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping a consistent course of support.
