Get to know me
Meet Svetlana
You may have spent years trying to understand yourself and still find yourself caught in the same thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns.
Perhaps you have learned ways to cope, but you want more than temporary relief. Therapy can help you understand what you are experiencing and, just as importantly, why it keeps returning. That second part is usually what makes a change hold.
I work with adults, couples and families, often at the point where anxiety, trauma, a strained relationship or a hard transition has started taking up more room than it should. My approach is warm and active. We look at the emotional patterns sitting underneath the problem rather than only the symptoms on top of it.
My work draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), Coherence Therapy, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and neurobiology. No two people arrive with the same history, so no two plans should look alike.
Over the past 16 years I have kept coming back to one question: what actually makes therapy effective? It has shaped my clinical work and my career. Alongside seeing clients, I mentor and clinically supervise psychotherapists, teach professional development courses, and help therapists build the confidence and clinical judgement the work demands.
That question is also why InnerSight exists. I wanted a clinic where clients could count on every therapist being committed to ongoing learning and to doing the work well. Continuing development and quality assurance are not extras here. They are part of how we look after people.
My approach
I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), Coherence Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy and Neurobiology of Change.
A little about me
Outside of sessions I am usually learning something, teaching, or out somewhere green with my family. Therapy should leave you with more than insight. It should leave you with a life that actually fits.
The question that has shaped my whole career is what actually makes therapy work. Everything I have learned from asking it is what I bring into the room with you.
