About Magdelena
Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and issues around self-esteem. Maggie also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, anger and career worries.
She prefers straightforward conversations and aims to make therapy understandable. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning practical coping strategies and noticing patterns that keep difficulties repeating. Maggie draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Her background includes a degree in Integrative Counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also volunteers as a counsellor for charities and sees value in making therapy accessible to people with limited means.
Maggie is curious about neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural science and brings that curiosity into her work. She emphasises simple, thoughtful exercises rather than technical jargon. Many conversations touch on attachment, communication and how past experiences shape present reactions.
She welcomes adults who want practical ways to cope and to better understand their relationships and parenting role. The first sessions typically focus on what's causing most stress right now and what a person would like to change next.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in closeness, trust and boundaries, which can be useful for relationship concerns and family dynamics. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online conversations using this stance aim to give clear, undramatic feedback and time to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises. In online sessions CBT often includes straightforward tasks and short home practice to test what helps.Choosing the right method is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the issue and adjust them if needed, keeping the focus on workable steps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins if needed, or letting people join from a different location when that helps. The emphasis is on practical benefits - finding approaches that fit schedules and make therapy usable in daily routines.
