About me

Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of overthinking, anxiety or low self-worth, constantly coping, but rarely feeling fully at ease. You might look like you’re managing well on the outside while underneath you feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed or caught in patterns you can’t seem to shift.

I work online with adults experiencing anxiety, low confidence, relationship and attachment difficulties, low mood, emotional overwhelm and periods of significant change. My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy with integrative therapeutic work, so sessions are tailored to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.

You might be here because:

You feel anxious or caught in overthinking, even when life looks “fine” on paper

Your inner critic is loud, relentless and exhausting

You’re struggling with panic attacks, sleep difficulties, stress or burnout

You’re questioning your direction in life or going through a major transition

You feel emotionally flat, disconnected or stuck in a low mood

You often feel “not good enough”, at work, in relationships or within yourself

You notice patterns in your relationships that repeatedly leave you feeling hurt, rejected or unseen

You find it difficult to trust others or feel safe in close relationships

You’ve experienced a breakup, loss or personal crisis that has left you feeling ungrounded

You’re tired of simply coping and want to feel more confident, grounded and connected to yourself

Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to you. We’ll look not only at what you’re experiencing now, but also at the patterns, beliefs and emotional responses underneath it, and work towards changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

My Approach
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. Rather than applying the same technique to everyone, I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on you, what you’re struggling with and what seems to be keeping the pattern in place.

I’m a CNHC-registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and Hypno-Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, and my work may draw on:

Internal Family Systems (IFS / parts work)

Gestalt and Transactional Analysis

CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy

Clinical hypnotherapy, metaphor and mind-body work

Our work is fully tailored to you. Sessions may involve hypnotherapy, parts work, practical psychological tools, exploring deeper emotional patterns, or simply having space to think, feel and make sense of what is happening.

Common Areas I Help With
Anxiety, overthinking, stress and burnout

Self-doubt, confidence and low self-esteem

Depression, low mood and emotional numbness

Life transitions and existential questions

Performance anxiety and fear of public speaking

Attachment patterns and relationship difficulties

Next Steps
If you’re wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. You can tell me a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and we can see whether working together feels like a good fit.

You’re also very welcome to message me directly through my profile.

Warmly,
Dasha
