About Mariya

Mariya Majid supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with adults and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or not like themselves. Mariya aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and feel listened to.

Mariya practises a blend of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. She draws on these approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing thoughts and feelings, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.

With three years of experience in the United Kingdom, Mariya has worked with issues that often sit behind presenting problems, such as attachment and abandonment concerns, family of origin difficulties, and communication problems. She also supports people facing body image worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and eating or commitment issues.

Mariya offers an inclusive, non-judgemental environment and aims to help people make sense of their experience. She helps clients find clarity, build coping skills and take practical steps forward. If you are considering therapy, she encourages an initial conversation to see if her style feels like a fit.

To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mariya adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Mariya combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and accepted; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. Psychodynamic Therapy explores past patterns and recurring themes to make sense of why certain difficulties keep coming up.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariya works collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on the person's goals and preferences. She will check in about what is helping and change direction if something is not working for the individual.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to access a therapist from different parts of the UK without relocating. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these flexible arrangements to help therapy fit everyday life.
