Maja Struthers, BACP

Maja Struthers is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years of practical experience. She offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety and depression. Maja focuses on helping clients who are coping with grief, life changes and relationship strain.

Maja works from the belief that each person knows their story best. She helps people notice their strengths and use them to manage problems. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's comfort.

In sessions she helps clients tackle issues such as low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns. Practical steps and reflective discussion are woven together to make progress feel manageable.

Maja has worked with people facing family problems, parenting strain and challenges related to separation and loss. She also addresses deeper patterns like attachment difficulties, abandonment feelings and codependency. These topics are approached with care and clarity so clients can make sense of long-standing patterns.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances short-term coping strategies with exploration of underlying issues. Maja aims to create a space where people can try out new ways of communicating, set boundaries and rebuild confidence. The goal is steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Maja draws on evidence-based techniques that combine practical steps with reflective work. One common approach focuses on building coping skills - identifying immediate strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger and handle stressful moments. This approach helps people gain quick, usable tools they can try between sessions.

A second approach pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early experiences and family of origin issues shape current connections, communication and intimacy. Working on these patterns can help people change recurring behaviours and feel more connected in relationships.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will explore goals, challenges and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process means plans can change as people learn what helps them most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let people speak face to face and use visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between meetings and can be easier for those who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules and day-to-day needs.
