About Magdelena
Counsellor and BACP member Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul has five years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related issues among other concerns. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers help with self-esteem, grief, parenting strains, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes.
Maggie trained in integrative counselling and uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred ways of listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help with thoughts and behaviours that cause distress.
Her sessions also include elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation and relationship interaction are central. Maggie says she values learning from neuroscience and behavioural science to inform practical steps people can try between sessions. She also volunteers as a counsellor for charities and aims to keep therapy accessible.
People who meet her find conversations are direct and practical. She guides people through coping skills, communication habits and clearer decision-making. Maggie encourages small, manageable changes rather than sudden overhauls.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counselling model uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems are the main concern. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. It helps people clarify their own thoughts and make decisions by centring the person's experience.Maggie uses these approaches together with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when needed. Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and agree on an approach with the client in the early sessions, so the plan fits what the person wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of doing counselling remotely often include fitting sessions around work and family life, cutting travel time and making it easier to maintain regular appointments. Some people also prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they need a quick review rather than a full session.
