About Maria

Maria Khan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, grief or difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, sleep or eating concerns, and trouble coping with life changes. Maria greets each person with warmth and respect, and she speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

Maria uses simple, direct conversation to work out what matters most to each person. She adapts sessions so people can talk about what feels urgent, or build a plan for longer term change.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and paced to suit the individual. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centred listening to help people notice unhelpful habits and choose values-based steps. She also brings in psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy where these fit someone’s needs.

Maria has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are arranged to match the way someone prefers to communicate. Maria aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to set realistic goals in the first few meetings.

She encourages small changes that add up over time. People who have felt isolated, overwhelmed by panic or living with obsessive thoughts often find the steady, conversational style helpful. Maria is also familiar with multicultural concerns, compassion fatigue and issues around body image and relationships.

She works with each person at their own pace and respects cultural differences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and letting the client lead the conversation; it helps people feel heard and build self-trust. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from past experiences that show up now, which can help when relationships or repeated behaviours cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will discuss options and try different ways of working to see what fits each person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for fuller conversations and visual contact, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day, live chat and text are suitable for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and increase access for people living further away.
