About me

Hello, my name is Catherine. I come from a binational Ukrainian and French family. Having lived in Ukraine, France, the Czech Republic, and now London, I know firsthand the complexities of living far from home and the challenge of adapting to new environments. I also understand the weight of burnout and the uncertainty of a career transition. Before moving into psychology, I spent years in the fashion industry, working as a costume designer’s assistant and at international fashion weeks, so I truly empathize with those navigating a change in path or searching for their life's purpose. Beyond the therapy room, I am a dedicated practitioner of yoga and functional training, and I enjoy the grounding process of pottery. Therapy was a transformative support for me during a pivotal time in my life. This personal experience fuels my commitment to providing that same holding, supportive space for you.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
I integrate Clinical Psychology with Gestalt Therapy. While my university background provides a deep understanding of mental health, my practice focuses on the therapeutic process. My practice is guided by the immediate awareness that emerges in our dialogue, rather than a fixed or task-led structure. This allows us to move beyond managing symptoms to understanding the deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our work focuses on your emotions and bodily experiences in the here and now to understand how past experiences shape your present. To maintain an ethical and grounded practice, I regularly attend professional supervision and continue my own personal therapy. I work with a diverse range of clients across all genders, with particular experience in: - Adaptation: Navigating a new country, career, or life role. - Emotional Awareness: Difficulty identifying or expressing feelings. - Relationships: Challenges with partners, family, or colleagues.
