Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment ideas to understand patterns in relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when looking at thoughts, feelings and actions helps people make changes. Mariya tailors these methods to each person's situation and goals.
With nine years of clinical experience, Mariya has spent time supporting people through family conflicts, separation, immigration issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps with anger, bipolar and complex emotional reactions linked to guilt, shame or abandonment. Sessions are built around respect and sensitivity.
Mariya will work alongside the client to clarify priorities and design a way forward. She aims to empower people to notice small differences and build on them over time.

How Mariya’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and build safer ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and relies on careful listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to shift mood and reduce anxiety.Mariya treats choosing the right approach as a shared task. She will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest options. Together you can try methods and adapt them as you learn what fits best for you.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, reflective notes and flexible scheduling. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or family life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
