Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults who are facing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work stress, life transitions and relationship concerns. Maija also affirms people from the LGBTQIA+ community and offers support around intimacy and sexual wellbeing.

Her style is warm and respectful. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She combines person-centred listening with practical cognitive behavioural tools to help people make small, useful changes.

Maija has around four years of clinical experience. That background includes supporting people through grief, parenting strain, addiction-related concerns and burnout such as compassion fatigue. She also brings focused work on attachment issues, abandonment and communication problems.

She offers a space for talking about difficult personal topics like sexual desire, performance, identity and kink without judgement. Conversations are intended to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change or understand about themselves.

Practical goals might include improving sleep, reducing anxious thinking, managing anger, or making decisions about career and relationships. Maija uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness alongside therapy conversations to support these goals.

If someone is ready to begin, the typical next step is to use the service Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How Maija’s approaches translate to online therapy

Maija blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and uses motivation-focused conversations. Person-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with exploring identity, relationships and intimacy concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, priorities and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted to match what is working and what the client wants to focus on.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to arrange sessions across different time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work well in remote sessions.
