About Yana
Her practice incorporates creative techniques alongside attention to the felt sense of the body, encouraging expression through movement, imagery and embodied awareness when words alone are not enough. This approach supports people facing anxiety, pregnancy and child loss, infertility, depression, bereavement, self-harm and eating difficulties, as well as relationship and intimacy challenges. She also works with issues such as parenting stress, attachment and avoidance patterns, body image, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.
Yana draws on a long personal and professional engagement with creative arts, body practices and meditation developed across several countries. That background informs a flexible, gentle style that aims to reconnect people with their inner strengths and practical ways of coping. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a compassionate, client-centered stance to each therapeutic relationship.
Client-Centered and Body-Informed Support Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathy, active listening and gentle reflection to help people clarify their feelings, make decisions and build self-trust. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, low mood, self-esteem and navigating life changes.
Alongside a client-centered stance, Yana uses creative and body-informed techniques to access feelings that may be difficult to express verbally. Simple creative exercises, breath and movement awareness, or guided imagery can help people reconnect with bodily wisdom and work through trauma, grief, or fertility-related distress in a grounded way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yana works with each person to explore what methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as trust and clarity grow. Licensed professionals and therapists generally find that combining talking and embodied work can offer a broad range of options for healing.
Online therapy with Yana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to engage from different locations and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
