About Maija

Maija Vosloboinikova is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping men and others manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She aims to make sessions welcoming and straightforward so people can speak honestly about what’s worrying them. Maija works with adults facing career pressures, life transitions and identity concerns, and she affirms clients from the LGBT community.

Her style is warm, respectful and collaborative. She combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural tools to shape sessions around each person’s needs. That means listening closely, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying out small, practical steps between meetings.

Maija also has a special interest in psychosexual matters and supports people who want to talk about intimacy, desire, performance and sexual identity. Those conversations are handled without judgement and at the client’s pace. She works with matters linked to family of origin, attachment and abandonment concerns when they affect current relationships.

With four years of experience, Maija draws on motivational interviewing and mindfulness ideas where they help clients build clarity and steady routines. She uses these methods to support coping with grief, addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue as well as practical life changes. Sessions aim to be useful and realistic rather than theoretical.

Maija is based in the United Kingdom and welcomes international clients. If you want to begin, follow the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How Maija’s approaches translate to online work

Maija often blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and motivational interviewing. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful patterns, testing small changes and building practical coping strategies. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain, using guided conversation to clarify goals and strengthen motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Maija will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as new issues come up and progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. They can also support continuity when people are living abroad or have shifting schedules. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, aim to tailor online work so it fits everyday life and the practical constraints each person brings.
