About Maja

Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes and challenges to motivation and confidence.

Maja treats clients as the experts in their own stories. She listens to what is happening now and what patterns have grown over time. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are plain and direct, with attention to feelings and everyday obstacles.

Her background includes helping people cope with family problems, communication struggles, attachment and abandonment issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also works with people dealing with anger, career changes, parenting strain, and intimacy-related worries. Codependency and commitment difficulties are listed among her additional focus areas.

Maja draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns and discover new ways of relating. She aims to make sessions understandable and grounded in daily life. The goal is to build clearer choices, steadier boundaries, and more reliable ways of managing stress and difficult emotions.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer

Two common evidence-based approaches are helpful for the kinds of concerns she sees. One approach looks at patterns in thinking and behaviour to help reduce anxiety and low mood by trying new responses and small experiments. Another focuses on relationships and attachment, helping people notice how early patterns affect current connections and intimacy difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most relevant and practical for the client's goals and preferences. Together they will adjust methods as progress is reviewed and new needs arise.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life and to attend from different locations. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for audio-only meetings if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care while helping clients practise new skills between sessions.
