About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and parenting pressures. She brings a warm, curious presence and a belief that small changes can lead to meaningful improvement. Maggie holds a degree in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and patterns, and to build practical ways to cope. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses, and uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Maggie also works with emotion-focused methods to help people reconnect with important feelings and mend close bonds. For people who struggle with intense emotion or self-regulation, skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to develop steadier coping. These methods are blended to suit each person rather than applied as a rigid programme.
She has around five years of experience and volunteers with charities alongside her practice. Maggie enjoys reading, travel and learning about neuroscience and philosophy, and she brings that curiosity into sessions. Her work includes a focus on adoption and foster care issues among other concerns.
Beginning therapy with her involves gentle reflection, practical strategies and a collaborative spirit. She invites people to take small steps, accept vulnerability, and gradually discover their own strengths.
How her approaches translate to online working
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection struggles, fears of abandonment and how they react under stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering non-judgemental listening and support to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to change mood and functioning.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. This is a collaborative process aimed at fitting methods to each person's needs rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as arranging meetings around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need simpler check-ins or prefer not to be on camera some of the time, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging care.
