Maija Vosloboinikova, BACP

Maija Vosloboinikova is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping adults with intimacy and sexual wellbeing alongside common mental health concerns. She offers a calm, respectful presence where people can talk about anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship strain. Maija aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and practical.

Her style mixes person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to each person. Maija works at a steady pace and helps clients set realistic goals for change.

She has four years of experience supporting adults through life transitions, work-related stress, grief, and identity questions. Maija also supports clients from the LGBT community and people exploring desire, performance, or identity issues connected to intimacy and sex. Conversations are direct but respectful, and focused on making day-to-day life easier.

Maija draws on attachment-based ideas when looking at relationship patterns and difficulties with closeness. She also uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing strategies to help with motivation, coping, and behaviour change. Her approach is practical and collaborative rather than overly technical.

People who choose Maija can expect straightforward plans, gentle challenges, and ongoing review of progress. She encourages clients to bring concrete concerns to sessions and to test small changes between meetings. This makes therapy feel relevant and immediately useful.

How common approaches are used online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. Online sessions can help identify repeating patterns and practise new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on clearer links between thoughts, feelings and actions and then tests small behaviour changes to ease symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and ground difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that suit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative discussion and may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life because it can remove travel, allow shorter check-ins around work, or make it easier to access help from different locations. Practical benefits include being able to try mindfulness or homework between sessions and tracking small changes week to week.
