About Maija
Counsellor and BACP member Maija Vosloboinikova has four years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work-related stress, relationship difficulties and life transitions. Maija also supports those facing intimacy and sexual wellbeing concerns and welcomes clients from the LGBT community.
Maija uses a blend of person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas in sessions. That means she listens first, then works on practical steps and thinking patterns that get in the way. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with pace and focus agreed by the client and counsellor.
She commonly addresses issues such as grief, parenting strains, addiction, sleep and eating problems, anger and career pressures. Maija also works with attachment-related difficulties, abandonment and family of origin concerns. Her approach includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques where these fit the client’s aims.
Maija describes psychosexual work as a particular interest, supporting people who want to talk about intimacy, desire, identity or performance. Conversations on these topics are handled directly and respectfully, with attention to practical steps as well as feelings.
Her practice is suited to adults at different stages of life, including students and professionals. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable actions as well as understanding the background to a problem. To start, clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How Maija uses psychotherapy approaches in online counselling
Maija uses person-centred ideas to begin work. That means she listens with attention to what matters most to the client and builds sessions around their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through personal issues, identity concerns or relationship questions.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT-style work often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and work stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maija will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape session focus and practical tasks between meetings.
