Olesia Maksymiv

Olesia Maksymiv offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and eating or food-related issues. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Her style is warm and practical, focused on everyday concerns that interrupt family and work life.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Olesia adapts conversations to each person's needs and helps clients set clear, doable goals. Sessions are a place to talk through painful events, rebuild confidence and find new ways forward.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred practice to keep sessions focused on a person’s priorities, and emotionally-focused methods when feelings in close relationships need attention. These approaches are used to help with grief, trauma responses, intimacy difficulties and relationship repair.

Olesia speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian, and welcomes international clients. She encourages people to move at their own pace and offers help with practical coping strategies as well as emotional processing. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Olesia works alongside people who want to make lasting change and regain a sense of control over their life.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people respond to closeness now; online sessions can help identify and change those repeating patterns. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session, helping them set the pace and direction while the counsellor listens without judgement. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the emotions that drive interactions and helps people form more secure ways of relating, which is useful for intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting plans as new issues come up. That collaborative process helps people feel involved in shaping their therapy goals.

The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep regular contact while managing work, family and health demands.
