Maja Struthers, BACP

Maja Struthers is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem and confidence difficulties, and the practical and emotional shifts that come with life changes. Maja also supports clients dealing with relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career-related stress, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person knows their own story best and carries strengths that can be used to navigate periods of difficulty. Maja values the courage it takes to seek a more satisfying life and aims to empower clients as they take early steps toward change. Her style blends attentive listening with practical tools to help people build resilience, clarify goals, and develop healthier patterns in relationships and self-care.

Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - Maja offers support for adults working through issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, codependency and commitment concerns, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions of life purpose and midlife transition.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Support

Maja works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include skills-based interventions focused on building practical coping strategies and emotional regulation. These approaches help people manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, low mood, and acute distress by teaching tools for breathing, grounding, thought awareness, and problem solving.

She also uses exploratory, insight-oriented work that looks at relationship patterns, attachment themes, and family of origin issues to help clients understand recurring dynamics and make different choices. This kind of work can be useful for improving self-esteem, communication, intimacy, and long-standing relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maja will work with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, adapting techniques over time to suit changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so appointments can fit around work, family, and other commitments. For many people this variety of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
