Olesia Maksymiv helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse. She supports those facing parenting challenges, low self‑esteem, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with anger, career worries, depression and coping with life changes.
Olesia practises in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience. She holds BACP, which indicates a professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She can work in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and she accepts international clients.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and respectful. Conversations are shaped to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. People can expect practical discussion, gentle challenge and a focus on what matters to them now.
Olesia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred methods to make space for your perspective and to follow what you bring to the session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to help understand and shift difficult feelings in relationships and self‑experience.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How attachment and emotion work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and try different ways of relating to reduce feel‑ings of distance or abandonment.Client‑Centred Therapy gives the person space to name what matters. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listening deeply and reflecting back so the person feels heard and clearer about next steps.
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and working with strong feelings in relationships and within the self. It helps people name emotions and practise new responses to improve connection and reduce cycles of blame or withdrawal.
Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and needs, and adapt methods as sessions progress so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
