As an experienced BACP-registered counsellor, I have come to understand that the issues which initially bring a client to counselling (depression, anxiety, emotional trauma) may reveal other underlying issues during the course of therapy. I therefore seek to be flexible and adaptable in my approach, working collaboratively with each client to find a suitable way to make therapeutic progress.

During our first 50 minute session we will be able to explore the issues that bring you to ...

Kristina has been consistently insightful, has frequently picked up on what I'm not saying through my body language, and always has emotionally practical suggestions which I have felt helpful for processing. She has helped me work through a significant breakup, improve my relationship with my parents, process work stress and trauma. She has been flexible, allowing me to increase or decrease the frequency of sessions as my needs have fluctuated. I would recommend her to anyone, but especially to LGBTQ+ clients or those living alternative lifestyles, which I have found Kristina to be supportive and understanding of. Thanks for two years of support Kristina.

In a world where the pace of change is faster than ever, many, including myself, find themselves at a crossroads, reflecting on the insights, knowledge, and wealth of experience they've accumulated throughout their careers. After experiencing severe burnout and lacking support from my previous employer to manage my physical and mental well-being, and in turn, a huge sense of betrayal and grief from having to walk away from something I invested so much in, I sought guidance from Kristina. Together, we explored the questions of "where to go next" and "why." To make informed decisions, it's crucial to pause, cut through the noise, and understand what truly motivates you. Kristina’s counselling is unique and effective, prompting you to recognise when you might be taking the easy way out. She has an innate ability to draw out your genuine emotions and motivations, encouraging you to pursue them. She excels at holding up a mirror without necessarily dictating your next steps. I cannot recommend her highly enough; the depth and breadth of her training and her passion for her craft are evident from the outset. She is fully invested in her clients' recovery and success. Kristina has equipped me with the right tools to navigate the future work landscape without the threat of another burnout. More importantly, she has shown me the path back to my old self, where my identity is no longer solely tied to my job—a trap I have been falling into for most of my career. My career has now become my side hustle in life, allowing me to find balance and fulfilment. This gift is priceless, and I cannot thank her enough. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
