Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul, BACP

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and life changes. She also supports concerns such as parenting, sleep problems, compassion fatigue and issues linked to ageing and geriatric matters. Maggie brings a warm, curious attitude and invites people to take steps towards understanding themselves more clearly.

Maggie holds a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She combines practical talk with attentive listening, aiming to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck and try small changes that make life easier.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally-focused methods. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person and on building skills to cope day to day.

Outside paid work she volunteers as a counsellor with charities, and she values learning from neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science. Maggie describes therapy as a brave step and aims to plant a seed for change rather than promise instant fixes.

She welcomes international clients and works in English. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to scheduling options.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and recurring relationship reactions. Client-centred therapy centres the person's experience and pace, giving space for feelings and personal insight to unfold. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit each person's aims, preferences and day-to-day needs. Together they will check progress and adjust the focus as therapy unfolds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it makes fitting sessions around work and family easier, reduces travel time and allows a quieter check-in when life feels busy. Others like how techniques from CBT or DBT can be practised between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt these methods for remote meetings to help people manage stress, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
