About Maryia

Maryia Farooq is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and the strain of caregiving. Maryia works with issues around self-esteem, anger, addiction and the challenges that come with life changes.

She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Maryia believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. She aims to make the first steps less daunting and to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters most. Her approach is collaborative and grounded.

She listens to immediate concerns and helps set simple goals for what to try between sessions. That may include stress-management techniques, ways to handle difficult emotions, or small changes to daily routines that support sleep and mood. Maryia has three years of professional experience in therapeutic work across a range of concerns.

She draws on evidence-based techniques and adjusts her style to each person’s needs. The focus is on understanding patterns and finding practical ways forward. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location and availability.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Maryia lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches you can expect online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to make sessions clear and practical for everyday life. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and replacing them with manageable alternatives; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving simple tools to try between sessions. Another approach emphasises understanding relationships and attachment patterns, which can help when someone struggles with communication, abandonment fears or intimacy issues. These methods are explained in plain language and applied to immediate concerns rather than theoretical detail.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until something feels like a fit. You will be involved in choosing strategies and reviewing progress so the plan matches your needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help make therapy work around your life and current commitments.
