Olesia Maksymiv, BACP

Olesia Maksymiv is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with clients experiencing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues around motivation and self-esteem.

Her practice also addresses an array of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and food-related problems, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes. Olesia gives particular attention to attachment and abandonment themes, codependency and commitment issues, communication and control problems, dissociation, and family of origin or family-related difficulties.

Olesia approaches every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific circumstances and goals. She supports clients through the early steps of change and remains focused on collaborative planning so that the pace and methods reflect what the client needs. Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Olesia is available to provide steady, nonjudgmental support throughout that process.

Attachment-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It helps clients explore attachment styles, address abandonment and trust issues, and build more secure ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth; it can be helpful for building confidence, improving self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and resolve patterns of distress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Olesia collaborates with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the relationship and progress develop.

Online therapy with Olesia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into varied schedules and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
