About Mariya
Mariya Henderson offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, parenting pressures and self-esteem worries. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and anger issues, bipolar and depression, and major life changes. Mariya works in English and Russian and is based in the United Kingdom.
She uses a client-centred way of working that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual. Mariya adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs, aiming to create space to talk through emotions and choices in a calm way.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also brings in cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful to tackle unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies. These methods are mixed thoughtfully rather than used as fixed packages.
Mariya has nine years of professional experience as a therapeutic counsellor and has also worked as a personal development coach with teenagers and young people. She describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, with a focus on practical steps alongside emotional support.
People who meet her can expect a collaborative process. Mariya helps clients identify small, manageable goals and works alongside them as they try out new ways of coping and communicating. She encourages self-compassion while supporting changes that matter in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mariya practises a client-centred way of working, which focuses on creating a supportive space where the person leads the conversation and their needs guide the work. This helps with issues like relationship strain, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships influence current behaviour and feelings. This approach can be useful when working on intimacy, abandonment or family of origin issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy, used selectively, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression and eating-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the individual to choose which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That collaboration helps shape sessions and any short-term plans or techniques to try between meetings.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work while living abroad, provided scheduling across time zones is agreed.
