Maja Struthers, BACP

Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of practice helping people handle stress, anxiety and the low mood that can follow grief or big life changes. She writes simply that clients are the experts on their own lives and often already have strengths to build on.

In sessions she focuses on practical ways to manage worry and boost confidence. She offers support for relationship difficulties, communication problems and the strain that parenting can bring. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and codependency in a straightforward way.

Maja helps people facing career uncertainty, feelings of emptiness, or the questions that come up in midlife. She also addresses anger, guilt and shame, and problems rooted in family of origin or divorce and separation. Her approach aims to help people make sense of their patterns and try different ways of coping.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where the therapist listens and helps set realistic steps forward. She emphasises small, doable changes and supports clients as they make decisions about their lives. The tone in sessions is calm and practical, with a focus on what can be tried between meetings.

Maja practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. She notes that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and potential clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that support practical change online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used to help with anxiety and low mood include short-term structured work that focuses on changing thought patterns and practical coping skills. This kind of approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try alternative perspectives and use concrete tools to reduce worry and lift mood.

Another common method concentrates on looking at personal patterns formed in relationships and family life. It helps people understand attachment and codependency issues, and aims to identify repeated behaviours that cause pain so that different choices can be practised.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they will set aims and try things out, adjusting the plan if something is not helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable, since different session rhythms can be agreed to suit everyday schedules.
