She draws on 16 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. Katya speaks English and French and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Katya aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for conversations. She tailors dialogue and plans to the needs of each person. Sessions focus on building understanding, boosting confidence and finding workable steps forward.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Katya blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to support emotional healing. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping the emotional connections that affect how people respond to stress and relationships. It can help when intimacy, communication or strong emotional reactions are causing difficulty. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values to move life forward. Attachment-based ideas look at early patterns of relating and how they shape present behaviour, which can be useful for improving trust and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katya collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She will listen to what matters to the client and adapt techniques so they feel helpful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face contact when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family and other routines.
