Are you feeling stuck, weary and overwhelmed? I can help. I offer specialist trauma/phobia treatment and expertise in anxiety, low mood, bereavement, navigating relationships, breaking free from unhelpful habits and in supporting neurodivergent clients. Rooted in a holistic view of what human beings need, Human Givens approach draws on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and on proven techniques from a wide range of modalities in counselling and psychotherapy. To support you in moving beyond current difficulties fast, I use guided imagery techniques to treat trauma and help you break away from unhelpful habits.
I offer a compassionate space where you can learn more about yourself, reengage with your strengths and resources, and develop new skills to move towards change quickly. The Human Givens model is a brief, solution-focused approach that usually helps you see an improvement in 4-8 sessions and gives you tools to maintain good mental health beyond therapy.
Some people may achieve the wanted change in fewer sessions while others may require more sessions due to the complexity of their lived experiences. With complex trauma healing often unfolds gradually, so allowing a longer timeframe is an important and supportive part of the process. My promise to you is to help you feel a little better after every session.

I cannot put into words how much Galina has supported me in sessions. This was my first time attending therapy so I was apprehensive. She guided me through everything and after the first session I felt at ease and excited to come back the following week. From the rewinds to coping strategies, she has given me the tools and resources to help me moving forward. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.
