About Maija

Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor who blends person‑centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to help adults manage anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Maija also works with issues around intimacy and sexual wellbeing and affirms people across the LGBT spectrum.

Maija meets people where they are and adapts sessions to individual needs. She uses clear, practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside person‑centred listening to help clients spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person feels ready for.

Her background includes four years of experience supporting adults through life changes, work pressures and personal loss. That experience informs a straightforward style focused on small, achievable steps rather than jargon. Maija aims to make conversations feel useful from the first meeting.

She has a particular interest in psychosexual matters such as intimacy, desire and sexual identity, and provides a non‑judgemental space to talk about these concerns. Other areas she addresses include grief, parenting strains, addiction, ADHD and career questions, as well as ageing and geriatric issues.

Maija is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which appears as her listed credential. Sessions are offered in English and Maija accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Maija’s approaches translate to online therapy

Maija draws on attachment‑based ideas and cognitive behavioural methods alongside person‑centred listening. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Person‑centred practice centres the client’s experience, offering a respectful space where the person leads the pace and content.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maija will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted to what feels most helpful for each individual.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how Maija conducts sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people access a therapist while living in another country, subject to practical arrangements and scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can support clients effectively via remote sessions, and Maija will help decide how to structure sessions to suit your needs and daily life.
