My approach is holistic and relational. It goes beyond talking and meets your physical, emotional and relational experience. Alongside tailored self-regulation practices and creative methods such as mindfulness, imagery and body-informed work, I draw on a wide range of therapeutic tools to support real change. My aim is to help you make meaningful shifts within a realistic time frame and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. I have been practising as a psychotherapist since 2010. I have an MSc from the renowned Metanoia Institute in London. I am a UK Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP) accredited Gestalt psychotherapist and a qualified EMDR Therapist and Couples’ Therapist. Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022, I’ve worked on the ground in Ukraine and online with organisations, NGOs, volunteers and civilians, supporting people living under chronic threat. My work in war-time Ukraine has taught me a great deal about resilience – how people endure critical conditions, confront loss and deep existential questions when everything around them is unstable. These themes resonate far beyond a conflict zone. Here too, people face sudden life turns, ruptures they didn’t foresee, and crises that unsettle identity and relationships. I support clients through these moments – helping them find steadiness, meaning and a renewed sense of self when life shifts unexpectedly. Current offer for clients in Hove: four focused, short-term therapy packages to support you with stress, anxiety, burnout, or major life change. You choose one package, and we work together for four weekly sessions at a 15% reduced fee. The package can stand alone, or you can continue into regular therapy at my standard rate if you feel further work would be helpful.

I am originally from Ukraine, but I lived across different countries and cultures since 1996 before moving to the UK in 2007. My identity has been shaped by my multi-cultural experience and diverse education and careers. I hold two MA degrees in humanities, along with a Clinical Diploma and an MSc in Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute. I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with additional training in EMDR therapy through the EMDR Academy (UK) and in couples work with the Couples Institute in California. I am also a qualified yoga teacher, which informs my commitment to working with psychological themes through the body as well as the mind. I am an international organisational consultant and coach, and alongside my private practice I lead mental health, resilience, trauma response and educational programmes for international companies and NGOs, including recent work on the ground in Ukraine. I have also taught psychotherapy at Masters and Post-Masters levels at Regent’s University London and the Metanoia Institute.
