About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and grief. Maggie writes plainly and invites people who find starting therapy difficult to take a first step.
Maggie trained in integrative counselling and blends practical methods from several approaches. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and day-to-day reactions. She uses talking, reflection and structured techniques to help people test new ways of responding to stressful situations.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current struggles. Cognitive behavioural tools help with unhelpful thinking and routines that keep anxiety or low mood going. She also uses elements from emotion-focused work and dialectical behaviour strategies to build emotion regulation and clearer communication.
Maggie values straightforward conversation about life challenges, including parenting pressures, career changes, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. She has an interest in neuroscience and behavioural science and applies that reading to practical steps clients can try between sessions.
For people with adoption, abandonment or attachment worries, she offers focused attention on those themes while also addressing related issues such as codependency and commitment concerns. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people spot patterns and try different responses in everyday life.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Maggie draws on attachment-based work to examine how early relationships shape current fears and connection patterns; this can help with relationship strain, abandonment worries and attachment issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep anxiety or low mood in place, with clear exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and process strong emotions and improve communication in close relationships. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Maggie will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs and preferences. That means checking what feels most helpful and adjusting techniques as therapy progresses. The original profile does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a break at work. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or remove the need to be on camera, which can help people who prefer quieter or lower-visibility sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical choices so sessions suit everyday routines.Areas of expertise
