About Mariya
Mariya Majid helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck in difficult relationships. She supports those coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. Mariya offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk and be heard.
She works in a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions start with what matters most to the person and focus on practical steps alongside exploring deeper patterns. Mariya draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the pace guided by the person in the room.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image. These approaches are blended to match each person's situation and goals.
Mariya has three years of experience in the field and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That affiliation indicates she follows professional standards as outlined by that body. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The process is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire, then book a session at a time that suits you. Mariya aims to help people make sense of things, try new approaches, and take small steps toward change.

Approaches that work online and in conversation
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor creates an accepting space and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices, which can be useful for self-esteem, relationship worries, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical ways to respond differently, which can ease anxiety and stress and give tools for everyday coping.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that have developed over time and the ways these affect current relationships and emotions. It can help someone understand repeated difficulties such as attachment concerns or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit the issue and how you like to work. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or when scheduling needs to be more flexible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to meet different needs and routines.
