About Maryia

BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience. Maryia Farooq helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She frames clients as experts in their own lives and focuses on using their strengths to move forward.

Maryia listens for what matters most to each person. She uses practical conversations to identify small, manageable steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions are direct and focused on what the client wants to change, such as sleep, eating, anger, or coping with life transitions.

She also works with issues linked to family dynamics, attachment and abandonment, and complex problems like domestic violence and fertility stress. When trauma or grief are present, the work is paced so people can process difficult memories while keeping day-to-day functioning in view.

Maryia supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. She helps with communication problems, commitment concerns and rebuilding trust after separation or conflict. Her approach is goal-oriented and practical rather than purely exploratory.

Sessions prioritise clarity about objectives and small changes that add up over time. The therapist will help set realistic targets and review progress regularly. To begin, readers should use the site's booking flow to describe their concerns and arrange an initial session.

How Maryia uses therapeutic approaches online

Maryia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach is structured, problem-focused work that helps break worries into manageable parts and builds simple steps to reduce stress and anxiety. This suits people who want clear tools to manage symptoms and daily routines.

Another common approach is trauma-informed pacing. That means the therapist helps you process difficult memories little by little while keeping day-to-day functioning in view. It is intended for people coping with abuse, grief or strong emotional reactions who need a steady, gradual process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maryia will discuss options and agree which techniques match your goals, needs and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical benefits to help clients sustain regular work between sessions.
