About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures. She supports those dealing with low self-esteem, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, anger, career concerns, depression and life transitions. Olesia greets clients with sensitivity and straightforward care.
She works in a calm, respectful way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations are practical and focused, with attention to feelings and patterns that affect daily life.
How Olesia works
The goal is to make changes that feel manageable and real. Olesia draws on approaches that centre on emotional connection and understanding. She pays particular attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current worries.
Sessions also prioritise the client’s experience and pace, allowing people to lead where it feels safest. After an initial conversation, she and the client map out clear, achievable goals. That plan can cover coping strategies, communication practice, or ways to process past hurts.
Progress is reviewed together so the work stays useful and relevant. Olesia has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential. She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian, and sees people who are located outside the United Kingdom as well.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotions. Online sessions use gentle conversation to identify attachment patterns and try new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection so individuals can find their own solutions and build confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift the emotions that drive difficult cycles. It is useful for tackling relationship pain, intense sadness, and patterns of avoidance. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape the sessions together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try approaches and adjust as needs change. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or travel is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.Start online instead of waiting
