About Maija
Her sessions focus on what feels most urgent to the client. She helps people struggling with low self-esteem, depression, work-related stress and major life changes. She also supports those facing intimacy issues, sexual wellbeing questions and identity concerns, including clients from the LGBT community.
Maija draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness in ways that suit each person. That means identifying patterns that get in the way, trying small experiments, and practising simple awareness exercises between sessions. She explains techniques plainly and adapts pace to the person in front of her.
She has a particular interest in psychosexual work and talks through intimacy, desire and performance-related worries without judgement. People can expect straightforward conversation and practical steps alongside emotional support.
Maija works with adults across different life stages, including students and professionals. If you are coping with change, grief, addiction issues, or concerns about parenting and family dynamics, she can help you clarify next steps and build manageable coping strategies.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this lens look at how people relate to others, notice recurring reactions, and practise new ways of connecting. Client-centred work emphasises listening and the person's own pace; virtually this often means the counsellor follows the client's lead and reflects back what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes; online CBT can include short exercises and practical tasks between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs and goals, and may combine elements from different methods. You and the counsellor will review what helps and adjust the plan together over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a shorter check-in into a lunch break. It can also allow sessions across locations when international arrangements are needed. Practical benefits include easier scheduling and consistent access to support while the therapist and client test which methods and rhythms work best.

Before you get in touch
Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.
If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
