About me

Hi I'm Kristina and  I work with people to help them gain a deeper understanding and compassion for themselves. Whether you have pain rooted in past trauma, feelings of depression or everyday anxiety, we can work together to begin to bring healing into your life and journey through whatever you are facing. I offer a warm and supportive space where you can come as you are, while being able to feel truly seen, heard, and valued.

In our weekly (or fortnightly) sessions you will be met with kindness and compassion where we can work towards a deeper understanding of yourself and inner growth.

I have particular experience in working with depression, anxiety, bereavement/grief, identity/self-worth, childhood/relationships as well as covering a wide range of other areas. I also work with people who want to explore or have questions about their faith or spirituality.

I offer in person counselling in Cotham and Clifton, as well as online counselling that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

Free introductory call
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call where we can discuss what you're seeking and how I can support you. Please get in touch via email, I’d love to hear from you.

About me
As for me, I've lived in different countries, immersing myself in diverse cultures. Along the way, I've faced grief, loss, disappointments, as well as joy, new beginnings and growing in my spirituality, all of which have shaped the way I understand and connect with others.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am BACP registered and hold an Advanced Diploma in counselling level 5.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
