About me and my therapy practice

 I am a qualified Integrative Counselor. There are a number of different challenges in life and events, unexpected personal or family changes, or work-related stress that can make you feel trapped, helpless, and overwhelmed by your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. 

I work with a different range of therapies: Cognitive Behavioural and person-centred. 

I have more professional practice in CBT: This focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitude affect your feelings and actions.

If you are willing to work with your inner world, where you can share anything, be heard and understood, and feel safe and confident in a judgment-free space, I am here to help.

I have been recognised for working with Differences and Diversity, with Bereaved families, and in person. I have the nationally approved Victim Support Witness service, CBT level 2 and Foundation degree in Integrative Counselling.

I am fluent in English, Lithuanian and Russian languages.

馃晩 Availability & Communication

I aim to offer a service that is both supportive and flexible. Sessions are available throughout the week, and I do my best to accommodate different schedules, including daytime and early evening appointments. If you have specific availability needs, we can discuss what works best for you.

You are welcome to contact me between sessions if you need to share information, ask a question, or update me about something relevant to our work. I offer a variety of communication options, including email and messaging, so you can reach out in the way that feels most comfortable.

馃尲 Flexibility & Support

About me and my therapy practice

馃尶 Welcome

Taking the step to begin therapy is an act of courage, and my aim is to make that step feel as comfortable and supportive as possible. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can explore what鈥檚 happening in your life, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to move toward meaningful change.

I offer an integrative approach that blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with person鈥慶entred therapy, giving you both practical tools and a deeply supportive space to explore your experiences. CBT helps us understand and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, while the person鈥慶entred foundation ensures that you feel heard, respected, and free to express yourself without judgement.

My work focuses on supporting people with anxiety, depression, low self鈥慴elief, work鈥憆elated stress, and personal life challenges. Each session is shaped around your needs, your pace, and what feels most helpful for you. Together, we explore what鈥檚 happening for you emotionally while also building strategies that support real鈥憀ife change.

Practice description


I offer an integrative approach that brings together Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person鈥慶entred therapy, allowing us to work in a way that is both practical and deeply reflective.

CBT helps us look closely at the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns 鈥 such as worry cycles, negative self鈥憈alk, or avoidance 鈥 and develop tools to shift them. This can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and challenges with self鈥慴elief, giving you strategies you can use in everyday life.

Alongside this, my person鈥慶entred approach ensures that therapy is shaped around you as an individual. You set the pace, and your experiences guide the work. This creates a safe, non鈥慾udgemental space where you can explore what you鈥檙e feeling, understand yourself more fully, and build confidence in your own ability to grow and make decisions.

Clients often come to me with work鈥憆elated stress, personal life difficulties, low confidence, or a sense of being stuck. By combining structured CBT techniques with the empathy and openness of person鈥慶entred therapy, we can work together to create meaningful, lasting change. 

My first session

Your first session is a gentle introduction to therapy. We鈥檒l take time to explore what brings you here, what you hope to change, and what support feels right for you. There鈥檚 no pressure to share more than you鈥檙e comfortable with 鈥 it鈥檚 simply a space to get to know each other and see whether we鈥檙e a good fit.

To make this step easier, I offer the first session at a reduced fee of 拢55.
