Background and approach

Practical concerns like career strain, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes are part of her work too. In sessions she listens closely and invites people to talk about both present problems and earlier experiences. That can help make sense of patterns that keep repeating.

She sets a calm tone and encourages people to notice strengths they already have. Her approach also includes brief, goal-oriented techniques to identify small steps forward. This can be useful when someone needs clearer coping strategies or short-term relief from overwhelming emotions.

She aims to balance exploring deeper issues with looking for practical changes. Yuliia trained as a psychodynamic counsellor and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and supports people as they work through difficult transitions and painful memories.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support for that beginning.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Yuliia uses psychodynamic and client-centred work to help people make sense of recurring emotional patterns and the influence of earlier experiences. Psychodynamic work invites reflection on past relationships and events to reveal how they shape current feelings and reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and acceptance, helping people find their own solutions and build confidence.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify practical steps and immediate goals when clients want quick, concrete changes. Together, these approaches allow for deeper exploration alongside short-term coping strategies. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the chosen approach can adapt as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection. These options provide flexibility and accessibility while retaining continuity in the therapeutic relationship.
