UKCP has moved to York House, 221 Pentonville Road, London N1 9UZ. We are updating the address listed in all our documents, please bear with us as we make these changes.
I imagine you opened this page for a reason. It may be emotional distress, depression, or a confusing work situation, perhaps difficulty in a relationship, overwhelming loss, or the effects of traumatic events and unresolved issues. You might be suffering with seemingly unexplainable physical symptoms or low self-esteem – the reasons could be numerous.
I have many years’ experience working with people in distress, helping to resolve various situations. The first step is often difficult; you can write to me directly or call to discuss how to get started.
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Supervisor. I am bilingual in English and Russian and comfortable working in both languages. I offer a respectful, supportive, and safe space as well as my expertise in order to facilitate a move towards a more harmonious life. Through exploration of emotions, thoughts, and behavioural patterns, through discussions a new awareness or solution emerges. When needed I use body therapy techniques and work on an energetic level.
I employ a range of appropriate therapeutic skills according to individual needs. I strongly believe that healing happens within a relationship and I always work relationally, as opposed to the “blank-screen” mode. My practice relies on knowledge in developmental psychology, psychodynamic, body therapy techniques, and sometimes hypnosis. Often I use very effective PessoBoyden therapeutic system. I also believe that humour, being a part of our every-day relationships, needs to be present in the therapy room.
I work both short- and long term. The length of the therapy, as well as some other aspects of work, is subject to our mutual agreement. Sessions usually last for 50 minutes, once a week. In some circumstances, especially in crisis situations, I offer twice a week meetings. I also see couples for 1.5 hourly sessions.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
