About Olesia

Olesia Maksymiv is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports clients dealing with parenting pressures, low self-esteem, grief, eating and intimacy-related concerns. Olesia works in English, Russian and Ukrainian and brings five years of professional experience to her work.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and builds a plan with each person, not for them.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with clear, practical steps between meetings. Olesia uses approaches that focus on emotional connection and personal choice. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present patterns.

Client-centred work puts the client's own goals and pace at the centre of therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods help name and work with strong feelings in the moment. That can be useful for relationship strain, grief, and deep-seated fears such as abandonment or emptiness.

She also pays attention to everyday problems like communication, control issues and managing anger. People who come to Olesia often want straightforward help they can use each week. She aims to make sessions understandable and manageable on busy days.

Her approach is collaborative and adaptable, and she encourages small, steady steps toward greater confidence and balance.

Attachment and Emotion-focused approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape how people relate now. It helps when worries about abandonment, trust or repeated patterns cause distress in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's own goals and timing at the centre of sessions. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection to help people find their own answers and build self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with strong feelings in the room. It can be useful for relationship strain, grief and intense emotions linked to trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress or new needs arise, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or who are not local. Video calls let therapist and client see facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions and live chat need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and quick check-ins. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to use approaches like attachment work or emotion-focused exercises across different situations.
