Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul, BACP

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pains, trauma and abuse, and issues with intimacy and self‑esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, sleeping problems, parenting pressures, anger, career shifts and broader life changes. Maggie holds a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her approach is warm and curious. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to find practical steps that fit everyday life. She draws on a mix of methods and adapts them to what each person needs. Maggie writes plainly and keeps therapy straightforward so people can use what they learn immediately.

Maggie has five years of experience and brings interests in neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science into her work. She volunteers with charities and sees counselling as something that should be accessible to more people. Those interests shape a reflective, thoughtful style rather than a single rigid method.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, understand attachment and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She uses exercises, conversation and practical tools to help with coping, communication and emotional regulation. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

Maggie invites people to take small steps toward greater self‑understanding. She does not promise miracles but aims to plant seeds for lasting change, helping clients turn blind spots into strengths.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment‑based therapy looks at the way early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps with relationship patterns, trust issues and feelings of abandonment. Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create a non‑judgemental space where people can find their own solutions. It is useful for building self‑esteem and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical exercises and skills training, which can ease anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made, so the plan can change when needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life is unpredictable. Online work can make it easier to attend when travel is difficult or time is limited, and it allows conversations to continue across different locations. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to share exercises, practice new skills and track progress over time.
