Therapy with Iva

Life’s plot twists can leave you questioning who you are and feeling unsure of yourself. Drawing on my own experience of navigating significant personal challenges, as well as my professional training as an integrative counsellor, I offer a down-to-earth, empathetic space to explore your thoughts and feelings, with approaches tailored to what works for you.

I work with individuals experiencing life’s significant changes and transitions, including career shifts, relocation, retirement, and relationship challenges. I can support you if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. You may be struggling with identity, self-doubt, or a sense of not fitting in. Perhaps you are navigating the unique grief of fertility struggles. I also work with people adjusting to life in a new place or culture, helping them find their footing and a sense of belonging.

In sessions, you can expect a side-by-side approach where we honour what surfaces and explore it at your pace. I aim to create an easy-to-talk-to, genuine human connection, with space for honest dialogue, approached with warmth and curiosity. I may gently challenge you when it’s needed, always with care, working through a trauma-informed lens, shaped by my experience in supporting roles within the charity sector.

If you feel ready to explore what’s happening for you, I’m here to help you make sense of it and find your next step.
