About Maria
Maria Khan is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has five years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, eating and sleeping issues, anger, and coping with life changes.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and practical. Maria listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live more in line with their values, and on client-centred talking to make space for what matters most to each person. She also uses elements of hypnotherapy and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.
People often come with specific issues such as panic, obsessive thoughts, body image worries, or multicultural stresses. Maria will work through the problem step by step and suggest strategies to reduce intense reactivity, like anger or overwhelm, and to build clearer habits over time.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice distressing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can be practised between sessions to reduce reactivity such as anger.Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people make sense of what matters to them. Psychodynamic ideas look at how earlier relationships and patterns shape current responses, which can reveal why certain situations trigger intense emotion.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Maria treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss which approaches fit the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day life. This helps shape a practical plan rather than a fixed prescription.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats before booking so you know how appointments are run. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use different approaches effectively over video or audio, and the focus will be on techniques and routines that transfer into everyday situations.
