About Maja
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor with six years of professional experience, Maja Struthers works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem and confidence, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes.
Maja describes clients as the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths during sessions. She invites people to talk through what feels difficult and to identify small, practical steps forward. Her way of working is conversational and focused on what people want to change in their day-to-day lives.
Her practice also addresses issues such as intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Additional areas Maja notes include abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and matters linked to family of origin.
Maja has helped people manage feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose or midlife transition. She can support those facing divorce or separation, forgiveness dilemmas, and control issues that affect relationships and wellbeing.
Sessions are arranged through the service's booking pathway, which uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin working together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they apply to remote counselling
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to support practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; this can help with anxiety, low mood and coping difficulties. Another approach works on attachment and relationship patterns, looking at how past connections affect current relationships and intimacy problems; it helps people make different choices in relating to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options in early sessions and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may adapt over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people more flexibility to schedule around work, family and other commitments, and to continue work when life changes make in-person meetings difficult.
