Background and approach
Her work often includes support for parenting challenges, career uncertainty, relationship worries and issues around self-esteem. She also helps people navigating trauma, intimacy concerns, sleeping or eating difficulties, and the effects of major life transitions. Katya draws on therapies that encourage values-based choices, strengthen emotional connection, and increase present-moment awareness.
These approaches are used to reduce avoidance, improve communication, and manage strong emotions. People who choose to work with Katya can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and practical tools to try between sessions. She aims to empower clients to make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable over time.
Approach and online options for emotional change
Katya commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values, which can help with anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early emotional bonds shape current relationships and helps repair patterns that cause distance or conflict. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity, which can ease stress and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katya talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports gradual reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and needs while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional change.
