About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, career worries and transitions. Maggie also works with people experiencing compassion fatigue, ADHD, low self-esteem and the effects of abandonment or adoption and foster care histories.
Maggie holds a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience and combines practical tools with attentive listening. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills and finding small steps that feel doable in day-to-day life.
Her style is warm and curious. She leans on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and manage symptoms. Emotion-focused and dialectical approaches are brought in to work on intense emotions and improve emotional connection.
Maggie describes therapy as a collaborative journey. She encourages clients to notice strengths and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. She emphasises realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Outside clinical work she volunteers as a counsellor for charities and enjoys reading, travel and learning about neuroscience and philosophy. She aims to create a calm, practical space where people can explore difficult experiences and start to make meaningful change.
How Maggie’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can focus on identifying those patterns and practising new ways of relating to others and to yourself.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows your pace, reflects what you bring and helps you make sense of it, which suits people who need a steady, supportive space to talk things through.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In an online setting these tools can be practiced together, with simple exercises to use between sessions to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maggie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She aims to adapt her style as needs evolve rather than sticking rigidly to one technique.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and making it easier to schedule between work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use online appointments to keep therapy consistent during life changes.
