Hello, my name is Anastasia, I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist.
I specialize in depressive disorders, including treatment-resistant depression. If you’re experiencing persistent feelings of hopelessness and low mood, a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, sleep difficulties, trouble with daily organization, or changes in appetite or weight, I am here to offer a therapy protocol that is both scientifically proven and effective for these challenges.
In my work, I rely on the latest findings in neuroscience and medicine and regularly participate in international conferences. As a member of psychological associations in both the UK and the US, I adhere strictly to high ethical and professional standards.
I invite you to a collaborative and enriching therapeutic journey, and I look forward to seeing you in a consultation!

Anastasiia, Has been very kind and understanding with me, she lets me explore my neurodiversity and my personal difficulties with social anxiety. She is calm, warm, and patient and space to process what’s happening. Her CBT model gives me direction to focus my energy, while also giving me the power to choose the therapy direction.

I have found my sessions with Ana to be extremely helpful and whilst I originally planned to use therapy to help with some short term goals, now Ana has helped with these we are continuing and going further. All round I have been extremely pleased with how professional and but also comfortable Ana is to talk to. Would highly recommend.

Anastasiia has a very calming and experienced demeanor and over the course of a couple of sessions has really helped me pick apart some of the issues that I've been facing. I really look forward to our chats and I'm eager to hear her thoughts on my situation. Would recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.
