About Kristyana

Kristyana Jimdar BACP brings three years of counselling experience and an international background to her practice. She trained at the University of Northampton and holds a Master’s in Counselling Children and Young People. Kristyana draws on different ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, including issues linked to identity and grief.

Kristyana uses an integrative way of working that includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused elements alongside client-centred listening. She often includes creative activities such as journaling, worksheets and artistic tasks to help people find words for feelings. Kristyana’s time working with animals in therapeutic settings also informs a gentle and grounded approach.

Sessions aim to be practical and clear. Kristyana helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, manageable changes between sessions. She also supports people coping with trauma, substance-related concerns, family-of-origin issues and sleep or eating difficulties.

Kristyana works with people navigating relationship stress, commitment worries and communication problems. She also offers support around self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue. Her background across different countries shapes an awareness of cultural and life transitions.

People who prefer a calm, creative and collaborative style may find her approach helpful. She encourages trying different ways of working to see what fits. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule based on availability.

How Kristyana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and supported while they work through problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what already works, so sessions can quickly generate steps to try between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristyana will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and life situation, and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn’t helping.

The online context can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to try creative tasks such as journaling or sending images that express feelings. If you are considering therapy here, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping regular contact and practising new skills between meetings.
