About Maria

Maria Khan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 5 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also works with concerns around relationships, eating and sleeping, anger, and coping with life changes.

Maria uses clear conversation as the starting point. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps. She also uses hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas when these fit a person's goals.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns. Maria listens, reflects, and helps people try different responses to old problems. Work may include values-based actions, noticing thoughts without judgement, or exploring past experiences that affect current feelings.

She can support people with issues such as post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression, body-image concerns and multicultural stressors. Maria also sees people affected by domestic violence and compassion fatigue, and she addresses isolation and guilt as part of therapy.

Conversations are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients can be seen. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Online sessions may draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. ACT focuses on recognising thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and the client's perspective, which supports developing self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients work together with the therapist to choose practical steps and ways of checking progress.

The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family or work, reduce travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online appointments to support consistent weekly work or occasional reviews, depending on what each person needs.
