About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a United Kingdom based counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing among a wide range of concerns. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, sleep problems and career pressures. Maggie also helps with parenting strain, anger, depression, ADHD and the everyday shocks life can bring.
Maggie trained in integrative counselling and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She describes therapy as a practical, human process and aims to meet people where they are. Sessions involve listening, gentle challenge and practical tools that fit into daily life rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes volunteering as a counsellor with two charities, reflecting a commitment to making therapy accessible. She draws on ideas from neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science to shape her work. Over five years of practice she has worked with a broad mix of issues and life stages.
In sessions Maggie uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally focused methods. She emphasises collaboration and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
She invites people to take small courageous steps towards change. Maggie sees therapy as a place to notice blind spots, try new behaviours and plant seeds for gradual transformation.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or repeating old relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and the person's own goals, giving space to talk things through and to deepen self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety or low mood.Maggie treats finding the right way of working as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which combination of approaches feels most helpful. This collaborative process may shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep appointments during travel, or choose shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people focus on talking and learning skills without needing to travel, helping therapy sit alongside everyday commitments.
