Olesia Maksymiv , BACP

Olesia Maksymiv is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with five years of professional experience, registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, motivation and low self-esteem, and offers support for confidence building and related concerns.

Olesia approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. She combines a focus on attachment, emotion, and client-led work to help clients explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and build more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

Recognising that seeking change takes courage, Olesia aims to be a steady, supportive presence through that process. She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt her approach as needs evolve, offering practical and reflective support to help people move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Using Attachment and Emotion-Focused Approaches Online

Olesia often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds and relationship patterns influence current feelings and interactions - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, trust issues, or difficulties forming close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is another core method she uses, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of exploration and work on self-esteem, life changes, and decision-making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) complements these by helping clients identify and shift unhelpful emotional responses and improve communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Olesia collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work fits the individual’s needs and feels constructive and manageable.

Online therapy with Olesia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
