Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor with four years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. As a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists), she combines professional training with a warm, respectful approach that helps clients feel heard and supported.

Maija works with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work-related stress, life transitions, and relationship difficulties, and she provides specialised help with psychosexual concerns such as intimacy, desire, identity, and performance. Her practice is integrative, blending person-centred principles with cognitive behavioural techniques so each session can be tailored to an individual’s priorities and pace. She welcomes adults of all ages, including professionals and students, and affirms clients from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Collaboration sits at the heart of Maija’s work: she partners with clients to set goals and apply evidence-informed strategies that fit their needs. Whether someone is managing everyday overwhelm or longer-standing issues, Maija aims to create a non-judgemental space for reflection, skill-building, and regained confidence. Reaching out is framed as a positive first step, and Maija is available to support people when they are ready to begin.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship and wellbeing work

Maija draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand attachment styles and improve closeness and trust in relationships, which can be useful for family issues, intimacy concerns, and patterns of avoidance.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which emphasises an empathetic, non-directive stance that validates the client’s experience and supports personal growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and creating a safe space to explore identity and values.

In addition, Maija integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and sleep or eating-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maija works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family, or travel. These options allow licensed professionals like Maija to provide ongoing care that accommodates different schedules and communication styles.
