About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, career stress and depression. Maggie works with people who are managing life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns.
She brings a warm, curious presence and a practical focus to sessions. Maggie trained with a degree in Integrative Counselling and holds BACP membership, which she maintains while practising in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She has five years of direct experience providing one-to-one support and volunteer counselling for charities. That volunteer work reflects her commitment to making therapy more accessible for people with limited funds. Her approach blends several methods so sessions can match a person’s needs.
She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past hurt, Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and Client-Centred listening to place the person’s experience at the centre. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools when practical skills are helpful. Maggie likes to keep sessions straightforward and conversational.
She invites people to notice patterns, try small changes and practise new responses between sessions. She describes therapy as a shared journey and aims to plant seeds for gradual change rather than promise instant fixes. Outside work she is curious about neuroscience, philosophy and human behaviour, and enjoys travel and reading.
That curiosity feeds a reflective, learning-oriented style in her clinical work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Magdalena often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, which focuses on understanding how past harms affect present feelings and behaviours and supports slow, steady processing of difficult memories or reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work; it looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness and helps people try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her style, offering attentive listening and a supportive space where the person's own goals guide the pace and focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maggie aims to be collaborative and will adjust methods to match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions typically involve checking what feels most urgent and experimenting with a few techniques to see what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit into a break at work or a quieter moment during the day. Many registered or accredited professionals find these formats useful for keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
