A little about me..
Hi, I’m Lena. As an integrative trauma-focused counsellor I have worked with a wide variety of issues. I incorporate concepts and approaches from person-centred therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, psychodynamic therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, and transactional analysis. My aim is to tailor the counselling around you and your specific needs, to ensure you can engage and benefit from each session.
Having an international background, I value each person’s uniqueness and encourage you to come as you are. Nothing is too big or too small to address. If you have any questions or want to see if I’m the right fit counsellor for you, feel free to reach out and we can have a free 15-minute consultation call to help you decide. I look forward to meeting you.

Client Testimonial

“Lena has been amazing. Really listening to me and hearing and reflecting how what I was saying could be used to help find strategies that worked for me. It felt very personal, engaging, and understanding. She has been a fantastic help to me.”

“I really enjoyed my sessions with Lena and immediately felt at ease. She didn’t rush me or offer judgement, and I looked forward to sessions.”

“My life has been transformed by the guidance; the mantras & the strength I feel Lena has given me. Lena is so wonderful.”

“Before counselling, I felt alone. Counselling with Lena helped me break down walls that were preventing me to grow as a person. Especially hearing things from another person that were so encouraging, it isn’t something I could experience on my own, and Lena handled it really well. Even over the first few sessions, Lena changed her approach to fit my particular mental health requirements, and it felt like she really put in a lot of effort for each session. I am extremely grateful for her help, even if it was only for a short time.”

“My experience with counselling has been transformative. It has helped me grow as an individual and provided me with valuable skills to navigate life's challenges. I feel more self-aware, resilient, and equipped to handle emotional obstacles that may arise in the future. I am truly grateful for Lena's guidance and the positive impact counselling has had on my well-being.”

“Working with Lena was just really lovely. She is always hearing you out and is very open. She has never pressured me to open up and always gave me ideas and things that I could try to calm down and to snap back to reality.”

“She is very sensitive and explains everything so that I could understand what she meant as well, which was just great for me because English isn’t my first language.”

“The service had been a fantastic experience in general. Lena is a warm, kind individual who listens and is not afraid to challenge or offer her impressions. Sessions have always been well-organised and kept up to date. Overall, a great experience.”

“My overall experience of the service has been nothing but positive. I feel lighter and more capable of being able to deal with day-to-day situations.”

“When I contacted Lena, I was not in a good place at all. Lena helped me work through my thoughts and feelings and she made me realise that my feelings are valid, understandable and justified. Lena helped me through a very tough time. It was good to hear her show understanding, compassion and empathy towards what had happened to me. In conclusion, the main thing I gained from counselling was validation for my thoughts and feelings, because for years I was controlled to think otherwise.

“Lena was very easy to talk to. She showed kindness and patience, which made me feel at ease. I felt I could tell her anything. I have already recommended Lena to friends, and I know one has already made contact. I would always highly recommend Lena.”

“My experience was extremely good. I was able to talk about things which I have never spoken of to anyone else before. I was very comfortable to open about extremely personal thoughts. Lena created that space for me, even though it was an online platform.”
