Maja Struthers , BACP

Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward approach and supports people taking the first steps towards change.

Maja helps people who are struggling with relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with issues connected to family problems, parenting strains, anger and career stress. Depression and compassion fatigue are within her practice too.

Her work addresses deeper patterns such as attachment concerns, codependency and abandonment wounds. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and problems around commitment and control. Conversations look at how past family of origin issues shape present life.

Maja aims to recognise each person’s strengths and practical resources. Sessions are collaborative and geared towards small, achievable steps. She encourages honest conversation about what is getting in the way and what might help change things.

She offers appointments from the United Kingdom in English. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Two evidence-based approaches often used in this kind of work are practical problem-focused work and attachment-informed conversation. Problem-focused work concentrates on identifying specific patterns that cause stress and then testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-informed conversation looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people create healthier patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses and as different issues come into focus.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls support fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins and help people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and travel schedules while still keeping the therapeutic relationship consistent.
