About me and my therapy practice

Hello, 

My name is Galina and I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, an IAPT NHS Counsellor, and a Child Psychotherapist.

My approach to therapy is integrative and relational. This means that I can draw from various theories including humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural. It also means that I pay close attention to the relationship between us as the most important guide in supporting you to move forward in your life. My primary objective is to create a warm and respectful environment where you feel safe to explore your difficulties and become the ‘expert’ of your own experience.

My qualifications include BA (Hons) in Integrative-relational Counselling and MA in Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Counselling. I specialise in working with depression and I have been trained in two evidence-based models in working with depression: Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) and Couple Therapy for Depression (CTfD). 

I have extensive experience in the voluntary sector, as well as the private and public sectors. I work with children, adolescents and adults. 

Personally, my interest is in supporting people to make the most of their strengths and realise their potential whatever that means for them. I believe that each one of us has a potential for experiencing emotional freedom and wellbeing, so I trust that change is possible even when it doesn't seem so.
