About Maryia

Maryia Farooq is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, mood changes and problems with sleep or eating. Maryia aims to make the first steps feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

She sees each person as the expert in their own life and builds on their strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.

Background and approach

Conversations are intended to help people work through emotions and make everyday changes that feel realistic. Maryia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment worries and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around career concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress and fertility-related distress.

Work with her can include talking through communication problems, setting boundaries and improving self-esteem. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Maryia helps clients set small goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

She encourages people to try tools between sessions so changes can take root in real life. Sessions are conducted in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text messages. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and therapy uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

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

How therapeutic approaches work online

Maryia uses practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and rebuild a sense of safety. One approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns; it helps with anxiety, low mood and decision-making by teaching people to notice thoughts and try different responses. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment, helping people identify patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of communicating and setting boundaries.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Maryia will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more accessible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for people to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
