About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. Olesia also supports those dealing with eating and intimacy-related issues, anger, career uncertainty and feelings of emptiness.
Her style is conversational and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, practical steps that help people feel steadier. She listens for patterns linked to attachment and relationships, and uses approaches that foreground emotion and present experience.
Olesia draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions today. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s perspective. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs work on close relationships and emotional connection.
In practice she helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, control struggles and family-of-origin issues. She also supports people coping with separation and divorce, abandonment fears, dissociation and forgiving past hurts.
Sessions may be conducted in English, Russian or Ukrainian. International clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and timings, as these can vary. To begin, use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. Online work with this approach often focuses on spotting relational patterns and trying out new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-Centred Therapy keeps the session focused on the client’s own perspective. The counsellor reflects what is said, follows the client’s lead and helps people clarify what matters to them now.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It is often used to address communication problems, intimacy concerns and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work from different locations and can help maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
