About me
Hi, I’m Yulia.
I’m a compassionate, supportive, curious and patient therapist, who works hard to create safe and trusting relationships with my clients. My experience shows that good therapy work must be challenging at some point and I will find kind and constructive ways of questioning your thoughts and beliefs in order to help you see and understand things differently.
Therapy is time and space for you to talk, to talk about what is important, painful, confusing or maybe just relevant right now. It’s time and space to express experiences and feelings which have not been expressed before or to put words carefully around things which cannot be expressed yet. Maybe it’s time and space to say quite frankly what is on your mind without being criticised, or repeat something as many times as you need to get in touch with your feelings without being judged.
I see the person, who comes into my therapy room, not their diagnosis. We work together to understand your story, how you find yourself at your present point and how the ways of coping with what life has thrown at you might be contributing to the way you experience the world, others and yourself. We’re asking ‘what happened?’ rather than ‘what is wrong?’.
Our sessions will be mostly explorative and non-directive, we will follow what comes up for you and will work towards understanding rather than explanation. Therapy work is not a short term endeavour, as understanding and changing something, which happened a long time ago or took a long time to form, requires time too. Having said that, it is possible to work within a limited time frame, but it will require establishing a focus for our therapeutic work.
I have worked with clients who experience anxiety, depression, bereavement, bullying, suicide, loneliness, relationship difficulties, abandonment, trauma, questioning their sexuality, or just found themselves lost, stuck or disorientated at some point in their life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP registered member and a full member of UKCP and SEA.
I have a Master's Degree in Psychology (2017) and a Master's Degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling (2022) as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in Existential Psychotherapy from Regent's University, London.
I have been working with individual clients since 2020 on various issues, such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties and other.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
