About Maryia
Maryia Farooq is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and depression. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, abuse and intimacy-related concerns. Maryia believes clients are experts in their own stories and draws on people’s strengths as part of therapy.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels hard and try different ways of coping. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Maryia aims to create a calm, steady space where someone can speak honestly and be heard. Her approach treats each person as an individual. She listens for patterns such as attachment or communication issues and helps people find clearer ways to connect with others.
Work may include facing grief, managing anger, or tackling sleep and eating difficulties. Maryia has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as a professional reference. She offers support for career worries, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress alongside more personal concerns.
People can expect a collaborative style where therapist and client set goals together. Maryia supports practical problem solving alongside emotional processing. The focus is on what helps in daily life and on building tools that can be used after therapy ends.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maryia discusses what is useful and adapts methods to match a person’s goals and comfort. She invites clients to try things gradually and reviews progress so the plan can change if needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face when that matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access regular support without a commute and can be scheduled around work or caring responsibilities.
