About Olesia
Olesia Maksymiv is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting pressures and depression. She also works with grief, anger, eating and intimacy-related issues, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation.
She approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Olesia aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to support clients as they try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her style draws on attachment-based ideas which look at how past relationships affect current feelings. She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person's own pace and perspective. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when exploring strong feelings in relationships.
During sessions she will listen, reflect and help people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Practical steps and small experiments are used to try different responses between sessions. The focus is on clearer communication, stronger boundaries and rebuilding confidence.
She offers sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian and accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules. Clients use a cancellable subscription for sessions, and cost can vary by location and therapist availability.

Approaches Olesia lists

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathetic listening and reflection so clients can explore their feelings and decide on goals at their own pace. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, non-directive space to process concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping painful emotions within relationships. It helps people name strong feelings and try new ways of connecting or communicating when old patterns cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree a path that fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change as therapy progresses and priorities shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel.
