About Maja
Maja Struthers is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and anger.
Maja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding. Sessions include talking through recent events, developing coping strategies, and practising skills to manage strong feelings.
She works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and with problems such as communication, control and commitment. Maja also addresses shame, guilt, isolation and struggles around life purpose and midlife change. These themes often come up alongside grief and relationship strain, so she looks at how they connect.
People are invited to describe what matters to them and to set small, realistic goals. Maja explains options and helps people choose what to try next. She encourages steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based approaches are used to help people manage strong emotions and relationship stress. Cognitive approaches focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and teaching practical techniques to reduce worry and rumination. These methods can help with anger that comes from repeated negative thoughts or stress at work and home.Brief focused techniques are also used to teach skills for immediate coping. These include grounding and breathing exercises, behavioural experiments, and step-by-step plans to try in everyday situations. Such techniques are useful when anger feels overwhelming or when someone wants to test new ways of responding in real life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins at times of high stress, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you start.
