Mariya Majid

Mariya Majid is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including the effects of racism. She often helps clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed and who are trying to find a clearer path forward.

In sessions she combines client-centred, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic approaches to suit the matter being discussed. That can mean looking at current thoughts and behaviours, tracing patterns that began earlier in life, or focusing on the immediate concerns a person brings. She uses practical tools from CBT alongside longer-term reflection when people want that.

Mariya pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns show up in relationships. She also works with issues such as body image, communication problems, commitment worries, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. For people with chronic illness or long-term pain she addresses how health and emotional life interact.

Her sessions are straightforward conversations that combine listening with clear ideas for change. Clients can expect a mix of talking, exploring feelings and practical exercises to try between meetings. Mariya aims to help people notice patterns and test new ways of acting that fit their goals.

The therapist offers sessions in English and does not take international clients at this time. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Mariya draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for exploring life purpose and values. CBT looks at current thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, often helpful for anxiety and stress. Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and early relationships, which can clarify why certain relationship or attachment issues persist.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. She will discuss what feels most useful for the person's goals and adapt methods as understanding grows. That collaborative conversation helps shape whether sessions emphasise short-term strategies or deeper reflection.

Session arrangements are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Whatever the format, the focus is on practical ways to manage anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties while fitting sessions into everyday life.
