To those who have taken the courageous step of seeking out a therapist, I want to express my deep admiration and respect. Embarking on this journey takes tremendous willingness and courage, and I commend you for prioritizing your mental and emotional well-being. You are already demonstrating incredible strength, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I’m Valery, a seasoned psychotherapist committed to guiding individuals and couples through their unique journeys of self-discovery and healing. With a Masters of Clinical and Counselling psychology and extensive experience, I offer a supportive space for adults and couples to explore and navigate the intricacies of their emotions and relationships.

My experience extends to working with couples and adults exclusively. Guiding couples through relationship dynamics and communication challenges is an area where I bring specialized expertise. For adults facing a spectrum of issues, from mood difficulties such as depression and anxiety, to processing trauma, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties, my goal is to collaboratively develop tailored solutions that foster growth and well-being.

Within the safe container of online virtual therapy,  I create an environment where clients feel secure and empowered to authentically express themselves. Whether you’re seeking to unravel the complexities of your own psyche or enhance the connection within your relationship, we can work together to cultivate a brighter and more fulfilling future.

In our initial sessions, our main focus will be on building a strong foundation of trust and understanding. I’m here to listen without judgment, creating a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. We’ll work together to explore your concerns, looking at both the challenges you’re facing and the strengths you bring to the table.

During this time, we’ll also dive into your personal history to gain a better understanding of your unique experiences and how they may be influencing your current situation. This isn’t about dwelling on the past but gaining insights that can guide our work towards a more positive future.

Together, we’ll collaboratively identify goals for our time together. These goals will serve as our roadmap, helping us stay focused on what matters most to you. It’s important that these goals feel right for you, reflecting your aspirations and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

Remember, therapy is a partnership, and your active involvement is key. My aim is to empower you on this journey, providing support, guidance, and tools to help you navigate challenges and move towards positive change.

I look forward to getting to know you and embarking on this journey together.
