About Olesia
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience, Olesia Maksymiv helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting worries, low self-esteem and related concerns. She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works with people who are located internationally.
Olesia focuses on practical conversations that clarify what is troubling a person and what change might look like. She adapts her approach to each person, drawing on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy where these fit the issue. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.
In sessions she pays attention to how close relationships and past attachments influence feelings and behaviour now. That can include work on communication problems, codependency, abandonment worries and patterns tied to family of origin. She also supports people facing grief, separation and changes at work or home.
Olesia uses client-centred techniques to help people voice their priorities and feel heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when exploring intimacy issues, commitment concerns or intense emotion in relationships. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at long-standing patterns linked to dependence, avoidance or dissociation.
Practical steps are part of the work - small experiments, clearer communication strategies and ways to manage strong emotions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions
Olesia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour. This approach can help when problems link back to family of origin, abandonment or patterns of dependence and avoidance. Client-Centred Therapy is applied to make space for a person to set the agenda and be listened to without judgment; it helps clarify what a client wants to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when work centres on relationship emotions, intimacy issues or strong reactions between partners.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as the work develops. That collaborative process helps match the method to the problem rather than forcing a single model.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and keeping progress consistent when travel is difficult. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or manage sessions when bandwidth or camera use varies. Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking to ensure they suit your routine.
