Maja Struthers

Maja Struthers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. Maja supports clients who are dealing with relationship strains, parenting pressures, and changes that come with different life stages.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages people to recognise the strengths they already have and to build on them. Maja views each person as the expert on their own life and aims to make the therapy room a place to try out new perspectives and ways of coping.

Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. That might include talking through challenges, noticing patterns in relationships, and practising ways to boost self-esteem and motivation. She also helps people work through grief, trauma-related reactions, and compassion fatigue.

Maja has worked with a wide range of concerns across six years, including anger, career questions, intimacy-related issues, and family of origin difficulties. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and midlife transitions. Her approach adapts to the problem at hand and to each person’s pace.

People who come to Maja tend to want clear, practical support and someone who will listen without rushing. She aims to empower clients to make changes that feel manageable and meaningful in day-to-day life.

Approach-led online support for everyday challenges

Many of Maja's methods draw on well established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day problems and practical steps. One common approach she uses helps people spot unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, then work on small changes that reduce stress and low mood. This is useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems.

Another frequent focus is on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This approach helps people notice how past relationships influence current connections and intimacy, and it offers ways to change repeated cycles that cause pain or isolation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maja will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the work as goals and needs change so that therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt the practicalities to each person's routine and preferences.
