Hi! I am Alina. Currently, I work as a psychotherapist, offering a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with stress or anxiety, or seeking resolution for past traumas, I'm here to help you develop coping skills, gain insight, and unlock your full potential. Together, we'll work towards fostering resilience, promoting self-awareness, and achieving lasting positive change. My approach is based on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and I continuously make it a priority to stay updated with the latest developments in psychology either by attending workshops, reading the latest research, or seeking out advanced training opportunities. (You can also email me at vedalin01@gmail.com or give me a ring at +306976828189)
In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), my approach revolves around identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to my clients' distress. Through collaboration and exploration, I guide individuals in recognising how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected. By teaching practical skills and techniques, such as cognitive restructuring and behavioural experiments, clients gain the tools to modify unhelpful patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Empowering clients to become their own agents of change, CBT focuses on present-day concerns and fosters a proactive mindset, ultimately promoting lasting well-being and resilience. Also, my approach involves delving into the unconscious processes and early life experiences, particularly exploring the person's childhood, which profoundly shapes their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in order to make together the unknown, known.
