About Maryia
Maryia Farooq helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and compassion fatigue. She works in a straightforward, respectful way that puts a person's own experience first.
Maryia believes people know their story best and brings gentle guidance to help them notice strengths and options.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on small steps that fit everyday life. Maryia has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes helping people with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, autism and Asperger syndrome, and long-term illness or cancer related worries.
People come to her with communication or commitment difficulties, family problems, divorce and separation issues, or struggles around fertility and caregiving strain. She also supports those facing eating and food-related worries, control issues, emptiness, and challenges after domestic violence.
Work in sessions can include talking through difficult memories, building coping skills, improving day-to-day routines for sleep and eating, and practising clearer ways to communicate. Maryia offers phone, video, live chat and text-based messaging sessions to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Maryia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that suit those needs. The plan can be adjusted over time as goals change or progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick reflections, updates between sessions, or those who prefer typing. These options give flexibility and can help maintain steady progress while matching different schedules and communication styles.
