Loss can include; death, loss of a relationship through divorce or separation, loss of a job, loss of self-confidence and loss of a sense of self.
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is holistic and person centered. I use an integrative and humanistic approach. I believe that the relationship between the counsellor and the client is key to developing a trusting therapeutic space, where client and counsellor can work together to explore ways towards achieving the goals and needs of each individual client.

Psychotherapy facilitates people who wish to go on a self-exploratory journey to increase self-awareness. It also is a safe, non-judgmental space for people to process grief and loss, boost self-esteem, relationship issues, sexuality/gender concerns and to safely heal from trauma. My philosophy as a therapist is to treat each person with uniqueness and unconditional positive regard. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life and my job is to act as the guide or a facilitator of this journey. To help the client find their real self and to empower individuals to be true to their unique authentic person they are.

My special areas of interest are childhood trauma, attachment issues, relationship difficulties and anxiety/depression.
My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental and warm and my goal is to understand your specific experience and needs. I use a variety of approaches that are person centred, this means that I value you as a human being above all else. I believe that therapy helps us develop an understanding of feelings and emotions, while creating a space for change to happen. It offers the opportunity to break free from old patterns that no longer serve us, and be more self-accepting, and more connected to others. Our problems are unique to us and only we can create the solution that will work for us as individuals.

I believe that empathy and compassion are essential when creating a safe therapeutic relationship and I passionately believe in the importance of being seen, heard, accepted, and understood by another in a caring and non-judgemental manner.
Hello and welcome. Are you stressed, lost, anxious? Life brings many experiences our way, some good and some bad. The emotional impact of these experiences can be frightening or confusing. Our family have a lot of influence on us, how we behave, how we talk, and how we communicate. Loss, grief, and anxiety are challenging. Processing our emotions is an essential part of living a healthy life.

Supporting individuals in developing effective coping skills to manage depression, anxiety, fear, relationship issues and life stressors.
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

No man is an island! Yet connection with others is not always easy. I work with Adult & Adolescent clients with relationship issues, low self-esteem, social anxiety, depression, stresses of everyday living, may have suffered abuse, bereavement and loss, or had a difficult childhood where their needs were not met. Are you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed or in distress? I help the client explore within themselves to gain clarity, perspective and understanding about themselves and their lives, enabling them to move forward through the blocks in their path to embody a more positive future for themselves.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
