About Maja

Maja Struthers works on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship issues using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience.

Maja frames clients as the experts in their own stories and helps people build on their strengths. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to cope with big life changes. She supports people through loss, low mood, and setbacks in relationships.

Her work includes helping with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also addresses parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues and anger. Maja pays attention to patterns from family of origin, attachment and codependency that can affect current relationships.

Maja offers help with career-related stress, compassion fatigue and midlife challenges. She also works with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and with communication and control issues that get in the way of daily life.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Maja helps people identify small, manageable steps they can try between meetings. She listens for patterns and helps clients consider different ways of responding to recurring problems.

People who choose to work with her will be asked about their immediate concerns, what has helped before, and what they want to get out of therapy. This shapes a plan that is reviewed as work continues.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Many evidence-based techniques aim to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and testing thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood, and on practising alternative ways of responding to difficult situations. These methods can help with stress, worry and low mood.

Conversation-focused approaches look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Working with attachment and family of origin themes can help people understand intimacy problems, codependency and patterns that repeat in relationships.

Maja will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. She treats this as a collaborative process and reviews progress and goals as therapy continues.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that helps with concentration or bandwidth.
