Maria Khan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.
About Maria
Maria Khan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She offers warm, respectful support and aims to meet each person where they are. Maria speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which can help people from different backgrounds feel understood.
Her style is conversational and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable. Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to help people notice difficult thoughts and take steps that match their values.
Background and approach
She also draws on hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that might be holding someone back. That can help with recurring worries, low mood, sleep problems or trouble with self-esteem. Maria aims to blend approaches to suit each person rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective discussion. Together they may set small goals, practise acceptance skills, or try breathing and grounding techniques for intense moments. The focus is on building coping skills that fit everyday life.
Maria has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients by offering several online formats for sessions.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and relies on empathic listening. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That way the plan can be adjusted if something is not helpful, making the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person session while allowing flexibility in location. Phone sessions work well when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to tailor session length and frequency. Many people find that mixing formats helps them balance therapy with work, family and other commitments.
