I am a fully qualified Couples Therapist, and Sex Therapist, or Psychosexual Therapist, working online. I have been working with individuals and couples for over 30 years.
When people come to me for relationship therapy and sex therapy, they are often in crisis. I work with each individual and couple to develop strategies for overcoming the issues that have become the legacy of past traumas. I work with people who are experiencing trouble connecting as a couple both emotionally and sexually. For some this could mean rediscovering a love for each other and reawakening desire, for others it can mean healing and finding a mutual path after infidelity.
I work with a range of issues and approach each with a completely non-judgmental attitude and a compassionate approach. I invite each client to feel secure and safe enough to discuss very personal and painful subjects.
I am also interested in the area of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its impact on couples’ relationships and I have worked extensively with survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
My experience as a therapist and of working with individuals and couples has taught me that every human being is capable of extraordinary things, each individual is capable of reaching inside to find that place from where our most noble deeds and thoughts arise. I believe that change is always possible and that counselling can enable people to shape their future in the way that they want to.
What I Provide
Online Therapy Sessions
Is ideal for people who have small children or struggle with child care, where they can meet with the counsellor once the children are asleep. It can also work well for couples who are in a long-distance relationship, perhaps living in separate cities or even in different time zones; these meetings would be a three-way conference-type call.
It could be ideal for those who do not live close to the right kind of counsellor, it is a very simple solution to go online and have therapy with a live video link to a specialist couples counsellor. She can support and assist the couple overcome their specific difficulties.
Additionally, it can also be very beneficial for people who are not able to leave home for any reason and is as effective as working in person with a counsellor.
The cost is the same as per in-person counselling, the only difference is that it has to be prepaid. However, it has the advantage of being more flexible in terms of time availability.
Online therapy does require a good quality internet connection and a private space where you will not be overheard or interrupted.
For online counselling I use Zoom.us, it provides a good level of privacy and security, and it is simple and easy to install. Once the appointment has been booked and paid for, you will receive an email invitation with a link to the meeting. The whole process is simple and straightforward.
"Lena was extremely helpful and made me understand how powerful the mind is for controlling our actions. She was able to positively change my mindset and made me realise that what we think it's impossible, it is indeed possible. I highly recommend Lena, as a senior expert who is eager to listen, understand and show love and care towards her clients"
“Lena clearly has a lot of experience and that shows in her counselling style - she made us feel at ease even though we were both very nervous about starting the therapy. Lena listened to us and also challenged us to think deeper about our experiences. We have made some very positive changes in our relationship as a result.”
“Lena helped me live a difficult part of my life and helped me start a new chapter. I would strongly recommend her to a friend.”
“I came to Lena when I was at a very low point and didn’t even recognise who I was. Lena has helped me immensely with finding myself and breaking down a lot of old patterns that I was unaware of. I am very grateful that I found Lena when I did.”
“The service I received from Lena has been life-changing and personally transformative. I have been able to adjust my mindset and adapt to different scenarios in a more considered way. Lena has taught me how to pay attention to my mind and body to understand when I need to take more care of myself and make sure I am equipped to manage stress and anxiety better. I cannot recommend the service highly enough.”
“I wish I had met Lena years ago.”
“What an amazing job to come into people’s lives and give their relationships a chance to not just survive but flourish. Thank you, Lena, for every conversation we had. They have left a positive and lasting mark on our lives as a family.”
“It felt like it was a real strength of Lena’s and so helpful that she could interject at the right point in a bad pattern of thought or communication and express very clearly what needed to be changed, but this very same thing landed slightly wrong at just a few points and instead it felt like she hadn’t understood exactly what I was saying before the interjection came, and I was too caught up in my emotions to explain this.”
“Lena gave me space to explore my thoughts and feelings freely. With her support my life has transformed and continues to do so. I know have the tools and self-empathy I need to keep growing on my own. Thank you, Lena. Forever grateful. Lots of love E. Xx”
