I strongly believe that the client knows themselves best, therefore I listen not to diagnose, but to understand you and how you came to be. I appreciate everyone wants to be happy, but the idea of happiness will look different to everyone - to some, it may be having better relationships with their loved ones, to others, it may be excelling at their career, and others may want to have a better relationship with themselves. Together, we can work through the barriers like anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, or anything else. Whatever it is that your happiness looks like, I want to help you get there.
I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering in person, online and phone sessions. I don't believe in a ‘one size fits all’ system therefore I offer a bespoke approach to therapy, meaning I tailor the therapy to fit your needs. While I have extensive experience working with many presenting issues, my particular interest is around eating disorders and body image issues.

My background
My name might have you guessing where I am from - I was born in Lithuania, and I lived there for the first 18 years of my life. I moved to England at the age of 18, and have lived here ever since.
At first, I worked various jobs (from potato picking to the fashion industry!) for several years, but I have always felt that my true passion was to work with people in a helping capacity. I started my first degree in Psychology and began working with individuals with learning disabilities, where I supported them with their medication and helped them integrate into the community. During this degree, I also worked with homeless individuals, providing 1-1 support around self-harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and depression.
Once I completed my Psychology degree with 1st class honours and an additional award, I decided to further my career and I started a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) approved Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, which I have since completed with a distinction. During this time, I started working privately with various age groups, albeit most of my client’s are over 16. I work with various presenting issues from depression, self-harm, anxiety and eating disorders, to addictions and personality disorders to name a few. I have continued working privately since then.
