As an experienced therapist, I work with individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges. My extensive expertise includes specialization in:  

- birth trauma 

- bereavement

- relationship issues

- PTSD and cPTSD 

- long-term illness and cancer. 

I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and find healing.  Being in therapy with me will allow you to experience personal growth by exploring your dysfunctional patterns and unconscious behaviours. I will support you in finding your voice to advocate your boundaries. We will manage interpersonal conflict, and you will learn a new way of communicating that allows you to express your deepest emotions. I will accompany you on a journey to find healing for your trauma and help to get in touch with a wise, compassionate and creative part of yourself.

I offer online Couples Therapy. I approach couples' difficulties with a view that does not label them as pathological, and I see problems as an opportunity for psychological growth. The issues I address include:

- Conflict

- lack of support

- betrayal of trust and affairs

- relationship crises

- poor communication

- separation and endings

- unfulfilling relationship

- moving to mastery in a relationship where you can thrive

How we will work together:

In couples therapy, through coaching and psychoeducation with assigned homework, we'll tackle your challenges and enable personal growth to support your relationship's development. 

Couples therapy has many components: 

*assessment and goal setting when we will take time to reflect on your relationship and identify the key areas you would like to address in therapy 

* diagnose the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck and the relationship type

* understand how your past contributes to relationship problems

*coaching in communication skills

* address differences

*work through relational and individual trauma

*address unresolved conflicts

In individual work, we will start where you are, and I will adapt to your needs by selecting from the wide range of skills and knowledge I have gained in my professional practice.

About Me

I am an accredited member of Â鶹ԭ´´, which means I work to the highest standards in my profession. In my previous role in the IAPT, I worked with clients with issues of depression and anxiety, abuse, workplace and legal problems, chronic health issues, identity crises, and relationships and family conflicts. Presently, I work in the NHS as an oncology psychotherapist while maintaining a private practice.

I am originally from Latvia but have lived most of my life in the UK. I have worked in the NHS for 25 years in various roles, which enabled me to develop the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, develop empathy, and effectively oversee teams of people in my senior roles. As a midwife, I supported families through life-changing experiences of childbirth, trauma, and child loss.

Here's what you can expect:

- Free 15-minute phone call to understand the main issue you wish to work on as a couple or individual.

- Individual work is 50 min long per session

- comprehensive pre-assessment written interview for couples

- The first assessment session for couples will be 2 hours long followed by an individual hour-long assessment.
