About Olesia

Olesia Maksymiv helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She supports clients facing parenting challenges, low self-esteem, grief, and difficulties with intimacy and eating. Olesia aims to create a calm space where people can talk and find clearer ways forward.

She works in a warm, respectful way and adapts conversations to suit each person. Sessions focus on understanding how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people try new ways of relating and coping. Olesia uses approaches that look at attachment and emotional connection to understand problems. She draws on client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the centre of sessions.

These approaches are applied to concerns such as codependency, communication problems, control issues and abandonment fears. Her practice also addresses issues linked to family of origin, divorce and separation, dissociation, and patterns like avoidant or dependent personality traits. Practical support for anger, career stress, coping with life changes and decision-making is available alongside exploring deeper emotional wounds.

Olesia has five years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers therapy in English, Russian and Ukrainian and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translates online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and emotional responses. Online sessions help people track patterns of closeness and distance and practise new ways of relating in present-day interactions.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client organise their thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the feelings behind relationship problems and aims to shift unhelpful interaction cycles. This approach can help with intimacy issues, commitment concerns and repairing trust after hurt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working, then suggest a route to try. You remain involved in planning and reviewing the work as it progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and practise interactions, phone sessions can fit into a break or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions across different time zones and life demands.
