Private Clients
It's an honour and a privilege to work with a person to help them better understand themselves and their place in the world. Life can be hard, and sometimes we all need help in navigating the difficult times and knowing that someone is on our side when we are faced with challenges that it throws in our path.
How I Work
Every client and their situation are wholly unique, and I will work with each client in a bespoke way, tailoring my approach to your needs and therapy goals. This may include working to understand your past and how this influenced your thought and behavioural patterns, exploring your current life situation and working on a particular area, be that your important relationships, career or health, and helping you to find tools to cope with a specific challenge you may be faced with. Usually therapy work touches upon past, present and future, and includes a combination of topics, approaches, focal points and tools. I tend to work in a solutions-focused way, equally, I believe that there is value in reflection, gaining self-awareness and connecting to our true selves.
​
We will work together on making the changes you would like to see (and on accepting what is). Ultimately, therapy is about developing new perspectives and behaviours which will enable you to be more adaptive, resilient and lead a more meaningful, balanced and fulfilling life.
​
I attend regular professional supervision and abide by UKCP and BACP Ethical Codes. I speak English and Russian.

Still Unsure?
Taking a leap to start psychotherapy may feel daunting, especially if this is your first time. There's a lot to consider and take in, from choosing the type of therapy to selecting an individual therapist to work with. I aim to make it easier for you to decide by offering a free 30-minute exploratory call during which you will have a chance to get your questions answered.
