About me
Online psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (13-18).
Welcome and I hope you find the following information on how I work helpful.
Relationships can be our biggest source of happiness and satisfaction, but they can also be the greatest source of anxiety, depression, challenge and hurt.
You long for a more meaningful, connected and satisfying relationship, but you keep experiencing the same old stumbling blocks. These repetitions might be because you are still using survival strategies within your family that you needed in childhood – but these strategies are no longer helpful in adulthood.
I help people who feel unheard, unappreciated and misunderstood in their relationships and life, struggling with low self-esteem and self-confidence. I help people who feel burned out from trying to fix, manage, help and please others. You are hoping to gain a sense of validation or self-worth, but are instead left feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and resentful. You can’t imagine how your life or relationship could change or improve.
But it is possible to change: and experience life in different quality and new levels of satisfaction. Go from feeling overwhelmed to becoming more aware and to know what to do. You can learn that supporting someone doesn’t mean fixing or rescuing them, which can take away the other person’s opportunity to take responsibility for themselves. It is possible to take a step back and let others handle their own issues, leaving you to focus on yourself.
You can do this by improving your self-esteem, learning how to set healthy boundaries and assert yourself. It’s ok to put your own needs first – you matter and are important too! It is possible to reframe the way you see things and to learn how express what you want in a clear manner. This is the road to self-respect, self-value and you will gain respect from others.
Every journey starts with small steps, and each step will take you closer to self-empowerment and more satisfaction with yourself and your relationships.
My background is Eastern European – I have a particular understanding of this culture and speak Latvian.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Initially, I offer 30 min free, non-obligatory call and it is a chance for you to elaborate on what you share in your enquiry form, ask me questions and for both of us explore whether we feel like a good fit to work together. There is no obligation to enter therapy with me; you are welcome to use this as an opportunity to work out what you want and need.
If we choose to work together, we will organize an initial consultation session which acts as an extension of the call, where I’ll inquire more about you, your background and your hopes and expectations – both for therapy and for life – we will be exploring in more detail the areas of life where you would like to see change.
If we feel happy to progress after the initial session, we will then agree weekly time to meet and go from there. I’ll then send you some paperwork for both of us to sign before we begin to proceed further.
