About Maaria

Maaria Aksar is a person-centred counsellor who works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and life changes. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style and aims to offer empathy and honest support. Her approach focuses on listening so clients can feel heard and start to make sense of what is happening.

With five years' experience in the mental health field, she has helped people who are coping with depression, relationship difficulties and workplace stress.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing grief, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes a wide range of everyday concerns such as body image, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Sessions are guided by the client's needs.

Maaria draws mainly on client-centred listening, with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies added when useful. This means conversations are paced to suit the person, while also offering practical ideas to try between sessions. She aims to meet each person without judgement and to work patiently through difficult emotions like shame, guilt or emptiness.

The focus is on helping people notice what matters to them and on finding manageable steps forward. People can expect a warm, interactive counselling style that values respect and sensitivity. Maaria welcomes conversations about goals, boundaries and what a helpful plan might look like for everyday life changes.

How client-centred and practical approaches work online

Client-centred counselling places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them notice feelings and make sense of their situation. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth and times when someone needs emotional support.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours. This can help with anxiety, depression and work-related stress by giving practical steps to apply between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what is already working. It helps people make short-term plans and build on successes rather than analysing every problem in depth. This is often helpful when someone needs quick, manageable changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what feels most suitable based on needs, goals and personal preferences. Sessions are adapted over time as progress and priorities change.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video calls suit longer conversations, phone calls can be useful if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing. These options make counselling more accessible and easier to fit around work and family commitments.
