About Maija
Maija Vosloboinikova is a BACP counsellor who uses a collaborative style to help people find clearer footing in stressful times. She works with adults facing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work-related stress and relationship concerns. Maija also supports those coping with life transitions, grief, and issues around intimacy and sexual wellbeing.
Her sessions are calm and respectful. She aims to listen first and then focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing and client-centred conversations often shape how she explores change and motivation. Cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness are used where they suit the goals agreed together.
Maija has four years of experience working with adults from different backgrounds, including people navigating identity questions and members of the LGBT community. She offers a non-judgemental space to talk about sensitive topics such as desire, performance and relationship boundaries. These sessions are paced to the individual and shaped by what matters most to them.
Her approach blends talking, gentle skills practice and reflection. She helps people spot patterns, try small changes and notice what makes a difference. Work can include addressing sleep, eating and coping habits, or building confidence for career and parenting challenges.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to Maija’s availability. The process is designed to match needs and preferences, and to set clear goals from the start.

How Maija’s approaches translate to online therapy
Maija uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what change would mean to them and to build their own reasons for taking steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and identifying motivation rather than telling someone what to do. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections can shape current ways of relating; it can help with intimacy, attachment worries and relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy creates a space where the person sets the pace and priorities, and the counsellor follows with empathic listening and gentle reflection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Maija typically works collaboratively to agree what methods to use, based on a person’s goals, preferences and what feels most useful in session. People are encouraged to feed back as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet from different locations, which helps when juggling work, study or family commitments. -
