UKCP Psychotherapist | Integrative & Transpersonal Therapy supporting emotional
healing, relational awareness, and deeper inner exploration.

I offer a supportive, grounded, and reflective space for those seeking help with life’s
challenges, as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply aware that something needs
attention—even if you’re not yet sure what that is.
My approach is both intuitive and informed. Alongside a compassionate presence, I work
actively and may offer thoughtful challenge or bring attention to what feels just beneath
the surface, in service of deeper awareness and growth.
My work is integrative and transpersonal, attending to both emotional wellbeing and the
deeper layers of meaning, purpose, and inner experience. Many of the people I work with
are seeking not only relief from current difficulties, but a deeper exploration of
themselves and their patterns.
I draw on relational, somatic, and creative approaches—including dreams, meditation,
and mindful awareness—to help you explore patterns, process experience, and reconnect
with your inner resources, from which qualities such as resilience, courage, and clarity
can emerge.
Alongside this, I integrate insights from neuroscience to support an understanding of how
experiences are held in the brain and body, particularly in relation to stress, trauma, and
regulation, and how meaningful, lasting change can emerge over time.
I have extensive experience working with complex emotional and relational dynamics,
and bring a depth-oriented, relational approach to my work.

Hi, my name is Jane and I am an integrative therapist who specializes in trauma and abuse. I also have a particular interest in relational work and attachment theory (how a disrupted bond with our main caregiver can impact our ability to feel safe within relationships).
You might feel stuck or alone in your situation, perhaps caught up in repetitive ways of thinking, struggling to come to any solution. Our emotions are clues to what is really going on for us. I will help you to go beneath the surface of the problem and understand what is driving thoughts, feelings or behaviours.
A safe space helps us to explore ourselves at a deeper level. My training and life experience informs a broad-minded, non-judgemental acceptance of whatever you choose to bring to therapy.
I frequently work with panic, anxiety, and depression. This might be trauma with a ‘little t’, meaning emotional distress due to the cumulative impact of multiple events such as bullying, verbal abuse, emotional neglect, or criticism. I also work with sexual abuse or major trauma, including PTSD.

Hello and welcome!
I’m Kalina, and I’m glad you’re here. Whatever brought you to this page, whether it’s something you can name or just a feeling you can’t quite shake, there is space for it.

Life can be challenging, messy, confusing, and at times even unbearable. Counselling offers a space to slow down, feel safe, and explore whatever feels difficult to carry alone. In the counselling room, all of your experiences are welcome: the good, the bad, and the parts that may be hard to name. You do not have to face these moments alone.

What’s it like working with me?
Counselling with me doesn’t look like one thing. Sometimes we sit down and talk. Sometimes we sit on the floor. Sometimes we use creative tools- visuals, drawing or objects, because not everything has words yet, and that’s okay. Sometimes we’re quiet for a while. The session moves at your pace, in the way that actually works for you.
My work is integrative and person-centred, grounded in the belief that we are not broken or in need of fixing. I truly believe that, no matter how lost we might feel in the current moment, we are still the experts of ourselves. In other words, we are the ones who know what is best for us. Sometimes, we might just need a little help along the way. That is why my role is not to give advice, but to support you in exploring what feels right for you.
Working integratively allows me to use and combine a range of therapeutic approaches, depending on what feels most helpful for you. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit you. I aim to offer a flexible, attuned, and inclusive space that respects different ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, and experiencing the world.

What you can expect:
A space where you don’t have to perform or get it right. Where being messy is allowed. Where you can say the thing you’ve never said out loud. Where we figure out, together, what healing actually looks like for you, not what it’s supposed to look like.

My hope is that you leave each session feeling truly heard, supported, and more connected to yourself.

If you are considering counselling and would like to explore whether working together feels right, I offer a free initial phone call. This gives us the opportunity to connect, ask any questions, and for you to see if we feel like a good fit before taking the next step. If phone calls aren’t for you we can also connect via message or email.
