Olena Baeva

Have you been asking yourself how to survive betrayal, disappointment, hurt, and separation? Resentment, sense of injustice and low self-confidence or stress - what do you do with it? Do you want to talk about failed expectations, anxiety and depression or family issues? 

You might fear losing what you already have. For instance, losing a friendship if you express dissatisfaction with something. Or having conflicts with people who are important to you while trying to assert your boundaries. Or feeling like you're different when you start prioritising yourself and your happiness.

What do you do in such situations?

Analyse your relationships, understand what you truly want, and learn to communicate effectively with people. Also, figure out:

• What to do when your personal boundaries are violated,
• How to stay calm and in control during conflicts,
• How to improve relationships with your loved ones and much more.

Hello. I am Olena, an independent counselling practitioner. I am a Relate trained practitioner with over a decade of experience.

I work with individuals and couples who want to make changes in their lives. Together, we will find what works best for you and discover how to start loving yourself and improve your self-esteem. 

I have academic knowledge, practical background and first-hand experience of autism and ADHD. You might be struggling to move forward after a diagnosis, needing to deal with complex trauma or you may have someone close to you with autism or ADHD. You or your partner may benefit from psychoeducation, discussing the pros and cons of diagnosis, disclosures, and mental health issues or endeavour to tease out what is the real you and what is masking.

I am here to listen and to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, which can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming. I offer a secure, non-judgemental, professional and confidential environment where we work together to try and make sense of how you are feeling.
