Have overwhelming events of the past marked your relationships with yourself and the world? Does your present life context trigger difficult emotional reactions, interpersonal or professional challenges? Do you suffer from lingering mental health issues and want to improve your wellbeing? Therapy can provide a safe transformational opportunity to explore and heal what is difficult in your life. My role is to offer you a confidential and non-judgmental space for understanding, processing and learning how to manage unresolved, often conflicting feelings, thoughts and actions which impact quality of your life and relationships.
I'm Dr. Olesya Ovchinnikova, a psychologist specialised in integrative body psychotherapy. My approach emphasizes that our being and deep patterns of behaviour are held in the body. I trained in Bodynamic Somatic Psychotherapy and Analysis System (Amsterdam, Netherlands), as well as at Chiron Association for Body Psychotherapists (London, UK).
I am also trained in Brainspotting and Deep Brain Reorienting, innovative, highly effective, brain-based trauma-informed therapies. I personalise psychotherapy to reflect the uniqueness of each individual, drawing upon a range of models and techniques. My therapeutic stance is relational and experiential. I offer therapy in English, Italian and Russian.
