About Maria

Maria Khan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and aims to make early steps feel manageable for someone nervous about reaching out.

She uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people begin talking about what matters to them. She draws on five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP.

Background and approach

Her approach is flexible and shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed formula. Sessions focus on building small, practical skills alongside exploring the experiences that cause distress. Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and then focus on values-based action.

She also offers client-centred work that prioritises the client’s perspective and pace. Where appropriate, she may use hypnotherapy or psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that keep problems repeating. People come to her with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including relationship difficulties, sleep or eating problems, obsessive thoughts, panic, postpartum depression, and issues linked to cultural background or migration.

She also supports those facing burnout and compassion fatigue. Her style is respectful and empathic. She works in collaboration with each person to set goals and track progress.

For many, the mix of practical strategies and reflective work helps them regain steadiness and feel more in control of day-to-day life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and then choosing actions that match what matters to you. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and trauma-related struggles. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and aims to create an accepting space where people can explore concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that suit your needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the focus as you make progress or when new issues arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit more easily into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or need support outside standard appointment times. These options help people access therapy from different places and at times that fit their routines.
