Olesia Maksymiv

I am currently accepting the new clients. I usually work 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility around the evening times. Please contact me for more details.

Hello and welcome. I am a fully qualified, experienced therapist working in the humanistic approach.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, creative space for both individual and couples therapy. I see every client as a unique, whole self-organised and self-regulating being, who I treat with respect. That is why our work will be tailored to your unique needs.

I embrace meeting you where you are in your life, here and now, and I honour your capacity for healing and growth.

My journey with psychology started over 20 years ago, and it continues to this day. I have studied Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling, both academically and clinically, integrating various evidence-based approaches and theories into my practice.

My therapeutical background is in both Gestalt and Embodied psychotherapy. That is why sessions with me are dialogical, non-leading, experiential and can include work with the body and movement. Together with that, I use knowledge and tools from Transactional Analysis, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory 鈥� especially when working with couples.

I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, shame, guilt, anger, childhood trauma, life crisis, identity issues, health issues, self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, burn-outs, 鈥渟tuckness鈥�, apathy and more.

I have extensive experience working with Complex trauma, and have been working for charities supporting war displaced people for the past 3 years. I can offer a range of tools, both evidence based and effective, and will look to find the unique way to support you in your journey of healing.

The therapy journey with me can be a creative process, that unlocks your own creativity, spontaneity and vitality. I provide a fruitful space for your exploration of why you are where you are, what your needs are, understanding your strengths, your beliefs, and how you relate to others in your life.
