Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul , BACP

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul is a United Kingdom-based therapist with a degree in Integrative Counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the main professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Her integrative training means she draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs, and her BACP membership reflects a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

She brings genuine enthusiasm to her work and combines professional training with active service - she is part of the Better Help family and also volunteers as a counsellor for two charities, a practice that reflects her belief therapy should be accessible to people who may not be able to afford it. Maggie is an avid traveller of both mind and place, a devoted reader and a perpetual learner who enjoys exploring different cultures and ideas.

People fascinate her, and she approaches each person with the assumption that there is a decent human being at their core, a perspective she consistently seeks out. Her interests include neuroscience, philosophy, behavioural science and the pursuit of self-actualisation for the betterment of the collective. She acknowledges that starting therapy requires courage and vulnerability, and she invites people to take that first step toward greater self-understanding. While she does not promise miracles, she aims to plant seeds for transformation and help clients turn blind spots into strengths.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Magdelena "Maggie" Rasheva-Malul combines several established approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties - it can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and collaboration; it creates a space where clients are heard and supported while they explore their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maggie works collaboratively with each person to identify the most suitable methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions and adapts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage with a therapist from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain momentum between meetings and choose the format that feels most comfortable, allowing licensed professionals to offer consistent support across different communication styles.
