Maryia FarooqBACP

Maryia Farooq is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. She works with clients who are struggling with grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. Maryia knows taking the first step can feel daunting and aims to offer steady support during change.

Her style treats the client as the expert in their life. She listens for strengths and practical resources that can be used right away. Conversations focus on small, manageable steps and clearer choices rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.

Maryia has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as her listed credential and describes her professional standing.

In sessions she helps people talk through relationship strain, attachment and abandonment worries, and the fallout from trauma or domestic violence. She also supports those coping with fertility issues, cancer-related distress and caregiver stress, offering a calm space to work through difficult emotions.

People can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation that aims to make day-to-day life easier. Maryia encourages practical coping strategies for anger, anxiety and parenting pressures and tailors each meeting to the person’s current needs and goals.

Approaches and online counselling that fit your needs

Maryia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is talking therapy that identifies unhelpful patterns and develops new ways of coping; this helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship issues. Another often-used method looks at attachment and abandonment concerns, helping people understand how early relationships affect current connections and intimacy struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maryia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative process means approaches can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online counselling, check the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or audio-only sessions when video is difficult. Confirm the exact formats offered and schedule arrangements at the point of booking so sessions fit your everyday routine.
