About Svetlana
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's experience at the heart of each session. She listens with empathy and aims to be authentic and non-judgemental while people talk about anxiety, depression, stress or big life changes.
Svetlana pays attention to relationships and attachment themes. She supports people working through issues such as abandonment, communication problems, commitment worries, and complications after separation or divorce. She also helps with family and parenting concerns, blended family dynamics, and struggles linked to caregiving.
She is experienced supporting people living with chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and those facing body image or eating-related difficulties. Her style is steady and relational, helping people reconnect with their own strengths rather than imposing solutions.
Sessions can be carried out in English, Russian or Ukrainian, and she works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Svetlana has three years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How client-centred work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and uses empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client's pace, reflects back what is said and supports people to reconnect with their inner strengths. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and adjusting to health challenges.Working relationally online still focuses on building a trusting therapeutic connection. The therapist will discuss which ways of working suit each person and will collaborate on goals and methods. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the counsellor will adapt as needs and preferences become clearer.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time and the ability to meet across different locations. Because formats supported by this profile are not listed in the biography, please confirm current session options when booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for shorter check-ins or for regular weekly work when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
