About Mariya
Mariya Majid works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also helps individuals facing attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, communication challenges, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and family of origin problems. Mariya aims to make talking about hard things easier and more straightforward.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding small, practical steps to test between meetings. Mariya draws on a mix of approaches so the work can match each person’s needs.
Mariya uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and to build rapport and understanding. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses in day-to-day life. Psychodynamic Therapy is used to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and time.
She has three years of clinical experience working with adults and young people. Mariya is registered with the BACP, which appears as BACP on her credentials. Her practice is in the United Kingdom and all sessions are in English.
Therapy with Mariya involves working together to make sense of feelings and test new ways of coping. The work is paced to suit each person and aims to build clearer thinking, more manageable feelings, and practical change over time.
How Mariya’s approaches translate to online working
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience first and aims to create understanding and trust; online or in person this means the counsellor listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can lead to practical changes in daily routines and coping. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and underlying feelings that shape relationships and choices, helping people understand why they repeat certain responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariya will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide how much focus to place on symptom-focused CBT tasks or on exploring longer-standing patterns with psychodynamic ideas.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to continue regular sessions during life changes, while the counsellor and client adapt pace and tasks to what works in everyday life.
