About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and grief. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help clients tackle sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Maggie brings curiosity and warmth to the work and encourages small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.
Maggie has a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP.
Background and approach
She has practised for five years, and also gives time as a volunteer counsellor with charities because she wants therapy to be more accessible. Her approach is influenced by attachment-based ideas and emotion-focused ways of working. Sessions often look at relational patterns and feelings, and link those to current struggles with intimacy or family life.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping strategies. Maggie describes herself as a lifelong learner with interests in neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science. She aims to help people know themselves better and to turn difficult experiences into sources of strength.
The work is conversational, reflective and action-oriented when useful. People who prefer online formats can work with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients may be accommodated and sessions are offered in English.

How attachment and CBT can work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape the ways people connect and respond to others. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to notice attachment patterns and try new ways of relating that ease intimacy issues and family stress.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete experiments. In online sessions this often means short practical tasks between meetings, straightforward thought records and behavioural steps to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s goals, situation and preferences. Sessions can combine relational exploration with practical CBT techniques when that mix seems most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or living further away. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when needing a quick check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter reflections or ongoing support between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt each format to the approach agreed with the client.
