About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, low self-esteem, grief and problems around intimacy and eating. She supports people coping with anger, career pressures, depression and life changes. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication struggles and family-of-origin issues.
She practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Her approach is practical and person-focused.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around each person's situation and goals rather than fixed scripts. In sessions she listens closely and aims to make space for emotions and practical problem solving. She uses approaches that help people understand patterns in their relationships and how past experiences affect current reactions.
Work may include examining how attachment and early family experiences influence trust, closeness and boundaries. Olesia blends client-centred listening with emotionally-focused methods to help people name feelings and try new ways of relating. She pays attention to how people cope, and helps build steadier ways of managing stress and strong emotions.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the person. She offers help in English, Russian and Ukrainian. Olesia has five years of professional experience and accepts international clients.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to her availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will decide whether attachment, client-centred or emotionally-focused methods - or a mix - will be the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that helps people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and observation of non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, note-taking between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy accessible across locations and schedules.
