Maria Khan, BACP

Maria Khan helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those struggling with relationship strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and big life changes. Maria introduces herself with a calm, respectful approach to make first steps feel manageable.

Maria uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques suited to each person. She listens and then shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual. Conversations focus on small, achievable changes and on building skills to cope with daily pressures.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and action, and Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre. She also uses hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas when these fit the presenting concerns and goals.

Maria has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people from different cultural backgrounds and can offer sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

How Maria’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect with their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful when worry, avoidance or uncertainty stop someone from doing what they care about. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space. It helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then try methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and let people meet from wherever they are, which may help maintain continuity of care. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Sessions are arranged to fit with everyday life and the therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling and engagement.
