Olesia Maksymiv
Support for stress, relationships and trauma
About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse. She supports those facing parenting challenges, low self-esteem, grieving, eating and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses anger, career worries, depression and coping with life changes.
Olesia works in a straightforward, respectful way. Conversations are shaped by what the person brings, not a fixed script. She listens first and then suggests practical steps to try between sessions.
Goals are set together and revisited as things change.
Background and approach
Her practice pays close attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when people struggle with abandonment, commitment or communication problems. Olesia also works with issues linked to family of origin and separation.
She uses client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the centre of the work. Emotion-focused techniques are brought in to process strong feelings when they feel overwhelming. The mix of approaches aims to make emotional experience easier to understand and manage.
Olesia has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian for people in the United Kingdom and beyond. The first session explores priorities and practical next steps.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translates online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and reactions. Online sessions can be a place to identify those patterns and try different ways of relating when stress or conflict appears.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace, helping them find their own solutions for worries like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong feelings that get in the way of close connections. In remote sessions this approach can support clearer emotional understanding and calmer responses during conflicts or after loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose which methods to use. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter exchanges and ongoing support between appointments. These options help people access care from different locations and at times that suit their schedules.
