About Maria
Maria Khan helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports concerns such as sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, relationship stress, and coping with major life changes. Maria uses a direct, down-to-earth style that aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is unsure about therapy.
Maria works from a belief that respect and sensitivity matter in every conversation.
Background and approach
She adapts the way she talks and the tools she uses to fit each person's situation. This means sessions focus on what is happening now and what small changes could help day to day. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Maria draws on a mix of conversational, reflective, and practical techniques to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build steadier routines. She also pays attention to cultural and language needs, and offers therapy in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.
Maria aims to work at a pace that feels sensible, supporting people through grief, trauma after abuse, and the stress that comes with big life transitions. People who come to Maria can expect clear discussion about goals and next steps. She will agree a plan together and adjust it as progress is made.
The focus is on helping someone feel more able to cope and make choices that suit their life.

How Maria works online
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Maria will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins at lunchtime, or remove the need to arrange childcare for a trip to an appointment. Many people find that being able to join from their everyday routine helps them maintain regular work on goals and coping skills.
