About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, sleep problems and parenting challenges. She also supports concerns such as anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD and intimacy-related difficulties. Maggie is based in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.
Maggie uses a straightforward and curious style in sessions. She listens closely and encourages people to notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
How Magdelena works
Conversations tend to be practical and focused on what will make daily life easier. She explains ideas clearly and works at a pace the person is comfortable with. Her training included a degree in Integrative Counselling, which shaped a flexible approach to therapy.
That means she draws on different methods to match each person's needs rather than following a single formula. Over five years of practice she has developed experience helping with both long-standing difficulties and sudden life changes. Maggie values learning and brings an interest in neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science into her work when it helps clients understand themselves.
She also volunteers with charities to increase access to counselling for people with limited means. That background informs a down-to-earth, compassionate style in sessions. People who work with Maggie can expect a collaborative process.
She aims to help people recognise unhelpful habits, try new ways of coping and find small shifts that add up to real change.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns of relating shape current connections. It helps people understand attachment needs and improve emotional closeness or security in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person and their experience, giving space for them to lead the conversation while the counsellor offers empathy and reflection to foster growth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or manage mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those aims. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style contact or times when a written exchange feels easier. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
