Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul, BACP

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based therapist with a degree in Integrative Counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings five years of clinical experience to her work and combines professional training with a genuine enthusiasm for helping people navigate difficult moments and pursue meaningful change.

Maggie has a broad clinical focus that includes stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, family dynamics, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting issues, anger, career transitions, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also works with themes such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, commitment concerns and separation and divorce. Her approach blends curiosity about human behaviour with practical strategies drawn from evidence-based therapies.

Outside of practice she volunteers as a counsellor for two charities and values making therapy more accessible to people who cannot afford traditional fees. An avid traveller and lifelong learner, Maggie is interested in neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science as they relate to self-actualisation and collective wellbeing. She believes that change often begins with a single courageous step - she does not promise miracles but aims to plant a seed for transformation and support clients as they discover and strengthen their authentic selves.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns - it helps people understand and change how they connect with others and manage closeness and separation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus of change, useful for building self-awareness and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maggie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Maggie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to continue through life transitions or geographic distance.
