Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. It helps people understand reactions to closeness, abandonment fears and communication problems so they can try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own answers, which can be useful for low self-esteem and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or improve sleep and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Maija works collaboratively to find what fits. She will discuss goals, preferences and everyday constraints, then tailor techniques from these approaches to suit the individual. This means sessions can be practical, reflective or a mix depending on what the person needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow visual connection and a fuller conversation. Phone calls are useful when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and life commitments.
