What to Expect during Psychotherapy

My integrative training helps me adapt my approach to meet the different needs of each particular client, providing a safe and confidential environment.

I give my clients my full attention to apprehend their point of view, their experience of life, while staying free from any form of judgement.

Because I specialise in existential therapy, I support a belief that though our life has certain limitations and constraints, we have a choice in how we live it. Our personal dilemmas and crises may present an opportunity not only to take stock of our lives, but to rediscover strength, contentment, hope and joy. During sessions we explore what brings my clients to therapy, where and how they are now, where do they want to be, what obstacles are in their way and what can we do to remove them.

A few sessions of therapy will not sort out anyone’s life. It has often taken many years, many events and encounters for a particular person to find themselves where they are. But the therapy creates an opportunity for my clients to look at themselves and their life from, let’s say, a more of a helicopter’s point of view. That widens their view of personal choices, lightens burdens and adjusts personal interpretations of life, oneself and others.

Therapy is an investment in ourselves. Therapy can, and does, lead to uncovering new directions and fresh energy. The effect of therapy continues after it has come to an end.

Testimonials about Natalia Zhigalina 

“I found the counselling very helpful and supportive. I wasn't quite sure where it was all going or where I was going. At the time everything was very stressful and traumatic for me. I felt friends and family shied away from me because they did not understand what I was going through, therefore the counselling was a real support when I badly needed it. In my case there were so many issues to deal with but I feel that it did help me enormously.”
 
 “Many thanks for being my sounding board and ally for the past three months. My sessions with you have provided me with an opportunity to reflect on and re-assess my life. As a result, I feel like I have gained a new perspective on things and that is saying a lot…”
 
 “I would just like to say that my Counsellor was brilliant in that she helped me understand exactly what was happening to me and how to deal with my situation. I felt really comfortable with her and was able to open up to her easily.”
