About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and codependency among other areas. Maggie writes plainly and invites people to take the first step when they feel ready.
Maggie trained in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines different approaches so sessions can be conversational and practical. People can expect to talk about recent problems and past patterns that keep turning up in relationships.
She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change daily habits. Emotion-focused techniques help when feelings feel overwhelming or hard to name.
Maggie also volunteers as a counsellor for charities, and she values accessible care. She reads widely on neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science and brings that curiosity into sessions rather than technical jargon.
In practice she aims for clear, workable steps rather than grand promises. Sessions will often include talking, noticing patterns, and trying small experiments between appointments. The focus is on learning more about oneself and finding ways to live with less reactivity and more choice.
How sessions work
How her approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape reactions now. It helps when someone keeps repeating the same relationship mistakes or struggles with closeness and trust.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for changing daily habits that feed stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with strong feelings so they lose power over behaviour. It is helpful when emotions push people into people-pleasing, avoidance or repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision may change over time as new issues come up.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter workday check-ins, or let someone choose not to use video when they prefer less focus on appearance. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help people maintain consistency and practise new skills between meetings.
