Maria Khan, BACP

Maria Khan is a counsellor who helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people struggling with relationships, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Maria works in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.

With five years of experience and BACP registration, she adapts sessions to each person. She listens without judgement and shapes conversations around what matters to the individual. Sessions focus on everyday thoughts and habits as a route to calmer routines and clearer thinking.

Maria uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and act in line with their values. Client-centred work creates space for people to be heard and to set the pace of change.

Hypnotherapy is offered as another way to access patterns of thought and habit when people find that helpful. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at past experiences that still affect daily life. Maria explains methods plainly and checks what feels useful before moving forward.

Sessions aim to build small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. People leave with simple tools they can use between appointments. To begin, the platform matching process is used to connect and schedule time with Maria according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is practical for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can explore feelings at their own pace and build confidence.

Maria approaches choice of method as a collaboration. She will talk through what feels most relevant, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps the person meet their goals. Finding the best fit is part of the work together rather than a one-off decision.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep steady progress. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or maintaining continuity when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who work this way, aim to help people build routines and habits that fit everyday life.
