About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, sleep problems, parenting worries, anger, career questions, depression, and life transitions. Maggie holds a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Maggie takes a warm, curious approach in sessions. She listens first and asks practical questions to help people name what matters. She uses clear, everyday language and works together with each person to set realistic steps forward. Maggie is a strong believer that change starts with small, steady actions rather than sudden fixes.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. She also uses client-centred principles to follow the person’s pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behaviour ideas and emotionally focused thinking appear where helpful to manage emotion and improve connections.
Maggie brings five years of counselling experience to her practice and combines that with volunteer work at charities. She enjoys reading, travel, and learning about neuroscience and philosophy, which inform her thoughtful and reflective style. She encourages people to take one manageable step towards change and supports them through the process.
She invites anyone curious about self-understanding to begin a conversation and consider what small seeds of transformation could grow over time.
Approaches that guide online therapy conversations
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s pace, offering understanding and space so someone can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change responses and reduce symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that feel right and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and paced to the individual.
The therapist's biography does not list which online session types are offered, so please confirm formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into everyday life because they remove travel time, allow a shorter check-in between commitments, and can be scheduled around work or childcare. Online conversations can still use relational, client-centred listening and practical CBT exercises to make steady progress without expecting sudden change.
