About Maria

Maria Khan is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood and steadier in daily life.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with difficult feelings and rebuild confidence. Maria uses straightforward language and gentle pacing so people can take small steps forward.

Her background includes five years working in the United Kingdom as a BACP practitioner. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different concerns rather than one fixed method. This helps when issues are layered, such as anxiety alongside sleep problems or relationship stress.

Maria is open to working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and offers sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. She understands how culture can shape beliefs about mental health and aims to make therapy relatable and relevant.

People are usually invited to make a first appointment by completing a short questionnaire and choosing a suitable time. Maria will then discuss goals and options so the work can fit practical needs and personal preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that help life feel more meaningful. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience, using listening and empathy to help them find their own solutions and gain confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust them over time if needed.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options and help arrange times that suit everyday life.
