Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking."

About me

I am a Person-Centred and Gestalt psychotherapist rooted in the belief that meaningful change requires a bespoke approach. Drawing on my expertise in humanistic modalities, I offer a sophisticated and collaborative space for adults to navigate the complexities of their internal and lived experiences.

 

The core of my work is the therapeutic alliance. I prioritise the cultivation of a space defined by safety, profound respect and genuine understanding. My practice is fundamentally shaped by the understanding that there is no singular path to healing, instead I ensure that the therapeutic process remains fluid responding to your shifting needs over time.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling Psychology, I have wide experience in counselling anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction, grief, self-worth, parenting and menopause.

Since making the United Kingdom my home in 2006, I have worked extensively in administration and management. After becoming a mother I gained a deep interest in child development, which has led me to refocus my career on psychotherapy. I offer multilingual counselling services, providing professional support  in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

How I work
 

• A relational and person-centred focus

I facilitate a process of active enquiry focussing on the "here and now." By bringing attention to current feelings and interactions, I help you gain clarity on the recurring patterns that may be hindering your personal or relational growth.

 

My aim is not merely symptom management, but fostering a profound understanding of our self-structure and how you move through the world.

 

I specialise in trauma-informed and body-aware therapy. I integrate an awareness of physiological responses into our work, helping you identify how stress and emotion manifest within the body.

 

• Trauma-informed somatic integration

Recognising that psychological experiences are inextricably linked to the nervous system, I incorporate body-aware interventions into our sessions. This somatic perspective allows us to address:

Emotional Regulation - developing practical tools to navigate overwhelming states of stress or anxiety.

Somatic Awareness - identifying the physical markers of emotion to bridge the gap between cognitive insight and felt experience.

Grounding - establishing a sense of internal safety and stability, particularly when navigating the aftermath of trauma.
