About Maria
Maria Khan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of practice in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce overwhelm. Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working to help people clarify values and set manageable goals.
Her approach also includes psychodynamic ideas about how older experiences shape current reactions. She brings hypnotherapy tools when people want to explore habits or strong physical reactions differently. The room is practical and paced to avoid rushing through difficult topics.
Maria often helps people handle build-ups of resentment, sudden outbursts, or the ongoing strain of living with someone else’s anger. She uses conversational techniques and guided exercises to build awareness, reduce reactivity, and practise different responses in daily life.
Sessions can include straightforward behavioural work, mindfulness-based exercises from ACT, and reflective conversation about personal history. She works in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and is open to international clients. To begin, clients follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and to practise small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on skills such as mindful noticing and willingness to feel difficult emotions while still moving toward chosen goals. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions are shaped around the person's concerns and pace, with the therapist reflecting what she hears to help clarify thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses, so the client and therapist decide together what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some methods, such as guided mindfulness exercises from ACT or conversational psychodynamic exploration, adapt well to a remote setting. Registered or accredited professionals like Maria can help people carry new skills into everyday situations without requiring long trips to appointments.
