Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul
Practical, compassionate therapy for life challenges
About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, low self‑esteem and grief. She also supports those coping with sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career decisions and life changes. Maggie works with people on intimacy concerns and compassion fatigue, and she offers coaching-style support when helpful.
Maggie trained in integrative counselling and holds BACP registration, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards. She has five years of experience and combines several practical approaches to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the client in day‑to‑day life. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain.
From there she offers tools for managing emotions and changing unhelpful habits. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Maggie draws on attachment work to understand relationship patterns, client-centred ways to follow the client's lead, and cognitive behavioural techniques to change thinking and behaviour.
She also uses elements of dialectical work and emotionally-focused ideas when strong feelings and connection issues are present. Outside therapy Maggie enjoys reading and learning about neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science. She values travel and cultural experience, which shape her open, curious approach.
Her aim is to help people take one practical step at a time toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy, abandonment or attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the client's pace and perspective. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person feel heard, which supports self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties because it combines practical exercises with short-term goal work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions can work when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is required. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy around family, work and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
