About Maja
Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship worries and challenges to self‑esteem.
Maja works in a straightforward, respectful way that keeps the client’s priorities central. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for practical steps that feel achievable.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and to build on existing strengths. Her work covers life changes such as career shifts and separation, and emotional concerns like guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness. She also helps with communication problems, attachment and issues around commitment and codependency.
Parenting is included among the areas she can help people talk through. Maja offers short-term focused work and longer-term support depending on what a person needs. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and decisions.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more helpful daily habits. Appointments are offered from the United Kingdom and sessions take different forms to meet practical needs. Maja aims to create a calm space for honest conversation and practical problem-solving, supporting clients as they take steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Maja draws on commonly used evidence-based techniques that aim to change how people think about problems and how they respond to them. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises practical coping strategies and behavioural changes to improve day-to-day functioning and manage stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about personal goals and everyday routines, then suggest options that match those needs. This is collaborative - plans are adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who may prefer no camera, and text or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping focus on practical progress.
