About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger and parenting challenges. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real-life problems rather than abstract labels.
Maggie trained in integrative counselling and combines several approaches in her work. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred techniques to listen and reflect, and CBT and DBT strategies to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions and behaviour.
Her style is conversational and curious. She invites clients to explore how patterns such as control issues, codependency or avoidance show up in daily life. Conversations cover specific moments - for example snapping at a partner or feeling anger at work - and look for small, workable changes.
Maggie also has interests in neuroscience, behavioural science and philosophy, and brings that background into explanations and practical exercises. She volunteers for charities and believes financial barriers should not block access to support.
Clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting. That helps identify immediate concerns like sleep problems, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue or career stress and sets priorities for early sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current responses. Online conversations can identify patterns in relationships and help reframe how people react to anger or rejection. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflection, giving someone space to speak and be heard; this can make it easier to notice triggers and try new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which suits clear goal-setting and at-home practice.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods to use based on the client's needs, goals and everyday life. That means reviewing what helps early on and adjusting methods as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, or remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to try exercises between meetings and bring real situations into session notes. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these formats to support practical change without imposing a single way of working.
