Maja Struthers

Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Maja works in a respectful, down-to-earth way and aims to help people make practical changes that feel manageable.

She sees the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on strengths already present. Maja offers a steady, encouraging presence while helping clients talk through difficult feelings. She emphasises simple, realistic steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes supporting people through relationship and family problems, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes such as separation or career shifts. She also works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Maja pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and codependency can affect choices and relationships. She helps people untangle communication and control issues, and to look at forgiveness, guilt and shame when these come up. Her approach is adaptable to each person’s concerns and pace.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Maja uses her BACP registration to guide ethical practice and professional standards as she supports people through change.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Maja works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand feelings and try new ways of coping. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test alternative, more balanced ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on how past attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships, helping people see patterns and try different ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, discuss options, and together you will decide which methods to try and at what pace. Maja emphasises practical steps and weekly goals so progress can be reviewed and adjusted as needed.

If you prefer to work online, check the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people keep therapy consistent when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client work together to find what approach suits them best.
