kristina psychology services
London
Kristina is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with 13 years of experience
within three nationally recognised services, including a tertiary specialist
trauma service and a residential trauma clinic where she worked as a supervisor
and trauma clinician. She brings a wide range of knowledge and experience of
working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of single and
multiple traumas, Complex Trauma, Attachment and Development Disorders and
Dissociation. Kristina has a particular interest in understanding trauma through
the perspective of early attachment. She takes the view that treatment in
therapy needs to be tailored to each individual client, and that recovery is not
about changing who we are, but about finding the person we were supposed to be
before the trauma. Kristina focuses the treatment on finding healthy coping
strategies and resources. Once safety and stability has been achieved, she works
directly to process the trauma if appropriate.
