Irina Timonina

Daytime and evenings are available. Please note that I do not work on weekends. 

I am a bilingual (English and Russian speaking) integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, offering brief and long-term therapy to adults and young people (16+) via face-to-face and online sessions.

I believe people of all ethnicities and social backgrounds can benefit from counselling, and I welcome individuals whatever their culture, sexuality or gender. Few of us sail through life without problems. As we go along, we learn our ways of copying. However, sometimes challenges can leave us overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Therapy is a safe and confidential place where you can reflect on what is going on in your life, explore the life you would like to live and make choices that are beneficial to your wellbeing. Our work is to develop your resilience and strength to face the challenges, increase your self-awareness and help you to connect with yourself and others.

As an integrative therapist, I believe there is no one way that works for all and I combine various therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to your individual needs. I pay particular attention to how past experiences may have influenced your present thoughts, feelings and relationships, and help you to disentangle from repetitive life patterns that no longer serve you.

You can contact me by telephone or email. During a free initial telephone consultation, we explore your expectations and needs and see if the way I work suits you. If not, I am happy to make helpful recommendations for other specialists.
