About Maria
Maria Khan is a counsellor who helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, problems with sleep and eating, anger, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or busy person.
With five years of experience and a BACP accreditation, Maria adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She listens first and then works with clients to set clear, realistic aims. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help day to day, whether that is coping strategies, building confidence, or managing upsetting memories.
Maria draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions person-led and on ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to help clients live according to their values while handling difficult thoughts. She may also use hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas when these seem helpful. The exact mix depends on the person and their goals.
She has a particular interest in concerns such as compassion fatigue, perinatal mood problems, obsessive and compulsive difficulties, phobias, and multicultural issues. Maria also supports people dealing with domestic violence and the fallout of traumatic experiences.
Maria speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the client’s lead to build understanding and practical steps forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasises living in line with personal values while learning to notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.Maria will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She discusses options with each person, listens to what matters most, and then shapes the mix of methods to fit goals and preferences. That shared decision-making continues as therapy progresses, with adjustments made if something is not helping.
Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to meet with a counsellor who speaks your language. Because the platform supports international clients, people outside the UK can arrange appointments too. If you are unsure which session types are available, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will suit your routine.
