Maja Struthers , BACP

Maja Struthers is a qualified therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing six years of professional experience to her practice. She has supported people through stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship challenges, difficulties with motivation, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. Her work also includes helping clients navigate significant life changes and the uncertainty that can come with them.

Maja approaches each person as the expert of their own story, drawing attention to the strengths and resources they already possess. She views the decision to seek support as an act of courage and aims to offer practical and empathic partnership as people take the first steps toward greater wellbeing and fulfilment. Her style is supportive and empowering, focused on helping individuals build resilience and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Evidence-based techniques for online support

Maja draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-oriented. One strand focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and low mood - this helps people make concrete changes in day-to-day life. Another strand emphasises emotional processing and coping skills, supporting clients through grief, relationship difficulties, and the aftermath of traumatic experiences by developing healthier ways to manage feelings. A further area centres on building resilience and problem-solving skills to navigate life transitions and to strengthen self-esteem and motivation.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Maja works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate to determine which approaches best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and try different formats to see what feels most helpful for their progress.
