Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor who combines person-centred care with practical, goal-focused techniques. She uses a warm, respectful manner to help people talk through anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work stress and relationship concerns. Maija welcomes people who identify as LGBTQ and supports a wide range of emotional difficulties.

She brings four years of experience working with adults across life transitions and identity questions. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with attention to what matters most right now. Maija also has a special interest in psychosexual concerns and intimacy-related issues, offering a calm space to discuss desire, identity and sexual wellbeing.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours need practical change. She blends these with client-centred listening and mindfulness techniques to build awareness and steady coping skills.

Maija often helps people manage grief, addiction-related worries, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career or parenting stresses. Additional focus areas include abandonment, blended family and communication problems, immigration issues and compassion fatigue. She supports people working through trauma and abuse, and those dealing with shame or guilt.

People meet Maija online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She is a BACP member - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practises from the United Kingdom. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to suit each person.

Approach-driven online therapy that adapts to you

Maija uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and to understand how early experiences shape current closeness and trust. This approach can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, commitment or attachment issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress by teaching specific steps to change thinking and routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maija will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and methods as progress is made, and checks in regularly to make sure the therapy remains helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
