About Kristyana

Kristyana Jimdar is a counsellor who trained at the University of Northampton and holds a BACP credential. She has three years' experience and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English, including to international clients.

Kristyana blends talking therapy with hands-on techniques she developed while working in animal-assisted settings. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on a person's own priorities and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term goal work when clients want faster practical steps.

In sessions she may use worksheets, journaling or creative tasks such as photos or short videos to help someone explain feelings when words are hard. These tools are chosen to match what each person finds easiest to use. She also draws on experience from working with issues like anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and relationship strain.

Her wider focus areas include eating and sleeping concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to attachment, communication and control issues when these are part of the problem. Kristyana aims to give straightforward strategies and small, manageable tasks between meetings.

People typically find the process collaborative and practical. The emphasis is on clear steps and developing skills that can be used day to day. Prospective clients are encouraged to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and arrange a time to meet based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their priorities, offering a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and decisions. Online work with this approach can centre on what matters most to the client and follow their pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and trying practical experiments to change them. Online CBT can use written exercises, worksheets and brief between-session tasks to track progress and practice new skills.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and what is already working. It is useful when someone wants steady, practical steps and measurable changes over a shorter period.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and everyday constraints and then agree a plan together. This collaborative approach helps shape how sessions are run and which tools are used.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, allow use of worksheets or creative tasks between meetings, and make brief check-ins possible when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into a client's routine.
