About Magdelena
BACP member and holder of a degree in Integrative Counselling, Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, sleeping problems, parenting, anger and career concerns. Maggie also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Maggie uses a mix of approaches in her counselling. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy help with practical skills and managing difficult emotions.
In session she aims to be straightforward and curious. She likes to bring in relevant ideas from neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science when they help explain what is going on. Conversations may include exploring past patterns, testing new ways of handling problems and practising coping strategies.
Maggie welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English. Her approach is conversational and active rather than purely reflective. She says she cannot promise miracles but looks to help people make gradual, workable changes.
People who contact her begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Maggie applies therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It can help people who repeat painful relationship patterns or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own perspective and experience, giving time for them to speak and be heard while the counsellor follows their lead. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives simple skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the most useful approach is part of the process. Maggie will work with the client to agree what feels most relevant. She will review progress and adjust the focus based on the person's needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between other commitments, or letting someone choose not to use video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer these practical benefits while adapting techniques such as attachment work or CBT to remote sessions.
