About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and grief. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, parenting worries, self-esteem and career-related stress. Her approach is warm and respectful and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Olesia keeps sessions focused on practical change and on understanding emotions that drive behaviour.
Background and approach
Conversation is tailored to each person, so short-term goals and longer-term aims sit side by side. In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. That means she helps people name feelings, notice interaction patterns, and build clearer ways to connect and cope.
She works to make emotional experience easier to understand and use in everyday life. People who might turn to her include those coping with loss, people struggling with intimacy-related issues, and those feeling stuck after separation or family conflict. She also supports work on eating and control issues, dissociation, codependency and abandonment concerns.
Olesia offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian and sees international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different rhythms and practical needs.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions that shape their relationships. It supports work on intimacy-related issues, attachment wounds and patterns that repeat in close connections.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current behaviour. It can help with abandonment worries, codependency, and communication problems by tracing how past bonds influence present reactions.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. The therapist listens with empathy and helps clients find their own solutions to stress, depression, life changes and career concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and will adapt methods to fit the client’s goals, preferences and circumstances. Decisions are made together so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across time zones and work schedules.
