How Katya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Katya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, practical steps toward a more meaningful life. ACT often involves noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most, which can be practised between sessions.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This work helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong responses and learn new ways of relating and soothing themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what feels helpful and adapting techniques as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offer sessions when going to an office is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to set up sessions so they suit day-to-day routines and therapeutic goals.
