Overview
I believe that talking therapy can enrich life, by helping us to identify what is really important and to focus our energies effectively, as well as addressing difficulties or stuck points. My areas of expertise include helping people to overcome depression, increase motivation, manage worries, resolve conflicts and improve communication in relationships. My clients describe me as friendly, professional and a good listener.
I am a bilingual Clinical Psychologist, and can offer my clients sessions in English or Russian. Alongside my work as a Senior Psychologist in the NHS, I offer independent consultation, assessments, talking therapy and group workshops. I am Chartered by the British Psychological Society, and accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council. I am experienced in providing individually tailored, evidence based therapies, as recommended by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence.
I am passionate about working with people who have experienced stress, distress or difficulties with mental health, as well as those who want to develop their communication skills and improve relationships with others. I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), as well as narrative, solution-focused and systemic approaches. I work flexibly, integrating multiple therapeutic models to meet the needs and preferences of each individual.
