Specialising in the treatment of anxiety-related behaviour, I work in partnership with children and their parents to provide effective, family-focused solutions for complex emotional, behavioural & social issues. My role as a behavioural psychologist lies in the application of evidence-based, compassion-focused practices that celebrate the human experience and all that it brings. My experiences as a child, adult and now mother of two with a visual impairment has afforded me deep insights into the value of positive role models and the need for appropriate nutriment of self-esteem in young people. The service I created is one I needed

Does anxiety rule your life? Is the grief you are feeling extremely painful? Do you feel suicidal, or have you lost someone to suicide? Do you feel your life is just drifting? Do you need a safe and confidential space to talk just about you and what is going on in your life right now? Is your own self esteem and self worth at rock bottom? Would you like to understand yourself and some of your life experiences more? Are you a teenager struggling with peer pressure/bullying or self image? Are you experiencing any relationship difficulties either within a marriage, a family system or the workplace?

As a psychologist with experience, I know how great the potential is in every person. We sometimes forget about our capabilities. For various reasons, life did not contribute to the disclosure of our inner potential and resources. But in fact, everything that people need to cope with in life exists inside them. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instil self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Making changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with sadness and fear can bring life-altering results. English and Russian clients. Instagram: kris kmt

I work with both adults and adolescents and provide a type of listening that is singular to each person (not a one answer fits all model). By attending therapy you release yourself of burdens and concerns and ongoing symptoms and find new ways of looking at life. The work I facilitate provides an insight and outlook that is focused towards helping each person find more understanding of themselves and what they want for themselves. My experience includes people with different psychiatric diagnosis, people experiencing grief, loss, addiction, ruminating and obsessive thoughts, pre and post natal depression and eating disorders.

I initially attempt to provide a sense of ease in counseling sessions because before therapy can be productive it must, firstly, feel safe. From there, goals that the client might like to achieve naturally emerge in the conversation. These goals can be anything at all: from wishing to feel less anxious, sad, irritable or troubled, to addressing relationship difficulties at home or at work, to trying to better understand a feeling of being unfulfilled, thinking or feeling differently about our pasts or, in many cases, just to have a safe place to discuss anything at all in a confidential, non-judgemental setting.
