Typically, I work with people struggling with anxiety, despair, anger, and shame; who wrestle with guilt, mistrust, addiction, and dissociation; who are self-critical, self-destructive, and trapped in repeated patterns of hurting self/others. Such feelings, behaviours, and patterns of relating often stem from multiple, complex life events and circumstances, including past/present abusive and neglectful relationships, discrimination, bereavement, trauma, gender expectations, parenthood, study/work/financial pressures, and more existential challenges such as one's relationship to meaning, responsibility, authenticity, and mortality.

I work with clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, eating difficulties, body dysmorphia, trauma, health-related concerns, bereavement, relationship difficulties and more.
When we first meet, I want it to feel like a space where we can genuinely get to know each other. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is a priority for me, as I believe this foundation is key to creating a safe, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported from the outset, knowing that you can express yourself openly without judgement. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable therapeutic goals, and we’ll revisit them as we move forward, adjusting along the way to ensure that we’re always working towards what matters most to you.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

If you wish to bring clarity to your situation, to change your perspectives and feelings about yourself and your life, to combat your difficulties and to create positive changes for yourself, perhaps the therapy with me could be a first step in the right direction. I provide a professional and confidential space where you can feel welcomed; where your thoughts and feelings can be talked about without a fear of being judged or criticised; where we can explore the reasons that brought you to therapy, your present difficulties and influences from the past; where you can achieve greater insights and understanding of yourself.

WHY ME....? Most profiles correctly tell you they will provide a safe place to work through things that are on your mind. What I also bring is a unique mix of outlook, training and experience drawn from different theories and techniques that will be tailored to meet your individual needs. You are in charge of goals and subject matter (as you are the expert on you!) and I am a curious professional bystander to help you notice, understand & manage what's going on. I encourage awareness and expression of the difficult stuff that might not often come up. I listen but I also ask a lot of questions.

I am a member of the BPS (British Psychological Society) and HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). Fully accredited by the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). Approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic, Person Centred. In the course of therapy we work towards raising awareness of your unconscious dynamics, which influence your current state of being. Newly acquired awareness (of these latent processes) gives you a chance to shift them and make a change towards a more fulfilling way of relating to self, others, and the world at large. I provide therapy in English and Russian.

You can manage a life without inhabiting it. You may have been coping well for a long time — capable on the outside, and quietly far from yourself underneath. You may be able to describe the difficulty precisely, or you may only know that something is wrong, or that you are tired in a way rest does not touch. Both are good places to begin. People come to me with anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, questions of identity and belonging — or because they have begun to realise they are just getting through the days. You do not need to know why before you get in touch. www.rewildingtherapy.earth

I collaborate with clients who aim to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, heal from past experiences, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. They may be struggling with emotional pain, relationship challenges, trauma, or mental health issues and are looking for a non-judgemental place to explore their feelings and needs. Their goals often include developing self-awareness, breaking free from patterns that hold them back, and learning new ways to live with resilience and purpose. They seek a supportive and attuned therapist who can walk alongside them on their journey toward healing and change.

This includes working with adults in an NHS secondary mental health service working with trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety and depression.
Life can be difficult, and the stories we tell ourselves can often limit and block us in leading the life we truly want to lead. Through my work as an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of different approaches, to assist you in meeting your particular needs and goals. I use the relationship we gradually build together to shine a light on understanding other relationships in your life, to better understand yourself, and develop the resources to live more authentically.

Hello, I’m Tiffany. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift, whether that’s anxiety, overthinking, low confidence, sleep issues, or relationships that don’t feel quite right. You might find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing your decisions, or wondering why you keep ending up in the same situations (especially when it comes to dating or relationships). On the outside things might look fine, but internally it feels unsettled, exhausting, or confusing. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, understand what’s really going on underneath, and start making changes that actually last.
