Maryia Farooq , BACP

Maryia Farooq is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and accreditation with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns, offering calm and practical support tailored to each person's situation.

Maryia approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that they already possess many strengths that can be drawn on to overcome difficulties. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore patterns, build coping skills, and work toward a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Maryia focuses on supporting that step with respect and compassion.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, person-centered approach that attends to emotional wellbeing and real-world functioning. Maryia helps people navigate life transitions, manage overwhelming emotions, and rebuild resilience so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Evidence-Informed Support for Online Therapy

Maryia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage everyday challenges and more complex emotional issues. She offers practical, skills-focused work for stress and anxiety that emphasizes coping strategies, pacing, and problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She also provides focused support for relationship, trauma, and intimacy concerns by helping clients explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and build healthier ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maryia collaborates with each client to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it possible to receive consistent support around work, family commitments, or mobility needs, while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional focused on the client's recovery and growth.
