About Maija
Maija Vosloboinikova is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice working with adults. She helps people with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, work-related stress, life transitions and relationship difficulties. Maija also supports those dealing with grief, parenting pressures and issues around intimacy and sexual wellbeing.
Her way of working draws on client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are practical and paced to the individual, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.
Maija has an interest in psychosexual matters, including concerns about desire, performance and sexual identity. She also lists wider areas such as addiction, ADHD, family of origin issues, abandonment, and guilt and shame as things she works with. She welcomes people from the LGBT community and adults at different life stages.
In a session she uses listening and collaborative planning to clarify problems and set manageable steps. Techniques may include gentle examination of unhelpful thinking and developing practical coping strategies. Mindfulness tools are used to help reduce stress and ground attention when helpful.
People who come for support can expect to talk through both current pressures and older patterns that keep reappearing. The aim is to build clearer choices and small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.
How Maija applies approaches online
Maija draws on client-centred work to place the person’s concerns at the centre of each session. That means listening carefully, reflecting back what matters, and agreeing small steps together. Client-centred work helps when someone needs a space to sort through feelings about relationships or identity.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to map links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers concrete tools for tackling anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking and some patterns that keep guilt or shame alive. Mindfulness techniques may be introduced to help settle attention and reduce stress during difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Maija will discuss options and decide with the client which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change as the work progresses.
