Katya Jezzard-Puyraud

I’m a qualified integrative counsellor and mindfulness instructor who is passionate about working with women and men who are depressed and anxious or have experienced loss, sexual abuse and domestic violence. I offer a safe and welcoming place to process your experiences, helping you to gently come to terms with the feelings you are facing.

My aim is for you to feel heard and accepted. This may be the first time you've spoken to anyone about your experiences, or perhaps you'd like to find new ways of coping - whatever you are going through, together we can find a way to regain your balance.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work both privately and with charities, and have provided online mental health services for anxiety and depression over the last decade. 

I work in the following areas:

• sexual abuse
• childhood trauma
• domestic violence
• coercive control
• bereavement
• suicide
• addictions
• gender identity

I tailor the therapy specifically to you, according to your needs. I work with a range of different therapies including talking therapy, mindfulness, CBT, art and narrative therapy, meditation and walking therapy.

Our sessions will allow you to understand how your experiences have affected your feelings, behaviour and relationships, helping you to formulate coping strategies for your future.

I offer a brief free phone consultation to find out how I can help you. Then in our first session, we can go into further detail about the changes you'd like to see in yourself and how we can work towards that.
