Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor who combines person-centred listening with practical techniques. She works with adults facing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work stress, relationship difficulties and life changes. Maija welcomes people from the LGBT community and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space.

She draws on an integrative approach, blending client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to match what a person needs in each session. That means sessions can focus on understanding thoughts and behaviours, while also attending to feelings and personal values. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and goals are set collaboratively.

Maija has four years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional challenges. Her background includes work with intimacy and sexual wellbeing concerns, including desire, identity and performance. She describes her manner as warm and compassionate and aims to help people talk freely and feel heard.

Practical issues such as sleep, eating, parenting stress, career decisions and coping with grief or loss are also within her scope. Maija can help people explore attachment patterns, communication problems and commitment worries, and she addresses issues linked to ageing and immigration when they arise. Her work also covers ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the Start Therapy process on the site.

How different approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past bonds shape current feelings and reactions. It can help people understand attachment styles, safety in relationships and issues like abandonment or commitment worries.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being heard without judgement. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person's lead, which can be helpful for building self-esteem and working through identity or sexual wellbeing questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, sleep issues, low mood and coping with work stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and pace. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses so techniques can change when needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler for international clients and those balancing work or family commitments to attend appointments more consistently.
