Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on six years of professional experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.

Maja focuses on everyday struggles as well as deeper losses. She helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, career worries and the kinds of life changes that leave people unsure what comes next.

Background and approach

She also offers support for issues around intimacy, anger and compassion fatigue. In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical options.

Then she works with people to build skills for coping, managing difficult feelings and improving communication. Maja spends time understanding family of origin issues, attachment and patterns such as codependency or control struggles. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, commitment doubts and the emptiness that can appear in midlife.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a down-to-earth manner. That means conversations that stay focused and useful, with steps people can try between sessions. Maja offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

How therapeutic approaches meet online therapy

Many effective therapies focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour and turning that understanding into changes people can use day to day. One common evidence-based approach looks at how thoughts influence mood and behaviour and teaches practical ways to adjust unhelpful thinking patterns; this can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another helpful method looks at attachment and relationship patterns to make sense of repeated conflicts or intimacy issues and to build better communication and connection.

Maja treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with people about their goals, preferred ways of working and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can suit brief updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while still working on meaningful change.
