About Maija
Maija Vosloboinikova is a counsellor who combines person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help adults manage life stress and emotional pain. She works in a warm and respectful way, aiming to make sessions feel safe and straightforward. Maija is a BACP member and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and work-related stress. She also helps with major life transitions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Maija affirms clients from the LGBT community and aims to offer a space where identity and relationship questions can be explored without judgement. In session she uses practical tools from CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and habits. These tools are blended with a client-centred style that puts the person’s priorities first.
This means sessions are guided by what matters most to the individual and paced to suit their needs. Maija has a particular interest in psychosexual matters and talks openly about issues of desire, sexual wellbeing, and performance. These conversations are handled respectfully and designed to reduce shame and increase understanding.
She also addresses broader concerns such as parenting stresses, sleep and eating difficulties, and addictive behaviours. Her experience includes supporting work-related burnout, compassion fatigue, and people navigating immigration or family of origin problems. Maija aims to help people build confidence, improve relationships, and find practical ways to cope with change.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Maija draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand trust, closeness, and boundary issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maija will talk with each person about their needs and goals and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow for quieter, shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways to connect, and Maija will discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
