About Maryia
Maryia Farooq helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports people coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with sleep, eating and addictive behaviours. Maryia also works with parenting strain, career questions, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
She is identified as BACP, which means membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Maryia believes the person in therapy knows their own story best. Sessions focus on building on strengths and practical steps that feel manageable day to day. She aims to offer calm, straightforward support to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier mood.
In sessions she listens for patterns and practical barriers. Together with the client she explores what is getting in the way and tries small, testable changes. Work may include talking through difficult memories, learning ways to manage overwhelming feelings, and finding new habits for sleep, eating or stress.
Maryia pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues show up in relationships. She can also support people affected by cancer, fertility and caregiver stress, as well as those struggling with body image or autism and Asperger Syndrome related concerns. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People should check session arrangements when booking to confirm current options.

How Maryia works online
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a person responds to different ways of working. Together they decide which techniques to try and review their effects as therapy progresses, adjusting the plan to suit the client's needs.
If you are considering online therapy please check which session options are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats helps make sessions fit into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, fitting a session into a work break, or using a shorter audio check-in when bandwidth is limited. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular contact while still working on the same goals they would in face-to-face therapy.
