About Maria
Maria Khan helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She offers a calm, respectful approach aimed at making first steps feel easier. Maria works in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and practises from the United Kingdom.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and small changes that can make a difference. Maria adapts the pace and tone to each person so the work feels manageable.
Background and approach
Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on several approaches to suit different issues rather than using a single method for everyone. In sessions Maria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters.
She also uses client-centred ideas to build trust and a non-judgemental space for talking. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas are available when exploring deeper patterns and long-standing worries. People who come to Maria often want straightforward help with panic, phobias, obsessive thinking, grief, sleep problems or anger.
She supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, body image and multicultural concerns. The work aims to be compassionate, clear and tailored to each person.
Approaches you can use online with your therapist
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, phobias and low mood.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to you so you can explore feelings and make changes at your own pace.
Maria also draws on hypnotherapy when a person would like to use guided relaxation and imagery to change unhelpful patterns. This can support sleep, anxiety and some habit-based problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options with you and decide together what feels most suitable for your goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape the plan and the pace of therapy.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and visual connection, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, while chat or messaging can be useful for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into your life.
