Testimonials

After having counselling elsewhere a few times over the years, I finally feel I have worked on the underlying issues that built the foundation for everything else to come. Katya found the perfect way to bring it out and for me to put in place the strategies I need to change my life patterns. For the first time in forever, nothing is in my way. I can never say thank you enough.
Being allowed to talk openly and honestly with Katya felt so natural. Katya encouraged me to revisit some difficult experiences with care and gave me the skills to deal with the issues that had been bothering me for some years. Every session was valuable. I feel calmer and happier. I cannot recommend this highly enough. If Katya could sit on everyone’s shoulder at various points when they are feeling lonely, anxious or full of worry, the world would have healthier mental health. Thank you so much Katya for showing me another way.
From the first session, I was made to feel at ease in the relaxed atmosphere. Katya was so friendly and welcoming and her positiveness certainly rubbed off on me. Each session was well structured and I have come away feeling that I have been given many tools to help me with my mental well-being. Thank you so much for believing in me and giving me the courage to go for it!
Thank you Katya for being someone who listens with the intent to understand and empower. I have had a lot of therapy over the years. This has been the most helpful.”
You listened to me and how I felt, you made me feel seen and supported. You made me see certain things in a new light and a new way. Thank you so much for doing what you do, for helping me and others.
Katya’s mindfulness sessions are thoroughly thought out and prepared. They are delivered with clear explanations of the techniques which draw eclectically on traditional practices to illuminate contemporary thinking on the value of mind-calming and deep relaxation for health and more positive ways of dealing with life.
Being able to talk was a relief and was helpful because I needed to let out my emotions and thoughts. Thank you for listening to my past traumas. I have learnt to set boundaries and this has really helped me overcome certain situations.
It’s had a drastic improvement on my day to day life. The freedom to talk about issues free from judgement, I couldn’t recommend it enough. I’m very grateful for the support. It’s been life-changing.
The sessions exceeded my expectations. I was quite cynical before I started but the techniques that I learnt were easy to implement into everyday life. Thank you Katya - your warm, friendly and welcoming approach helped me to instantly feel at ease. I genuinely enjoyed every session. Also the setting that you have provided for your sessions is perfect. Beautifully decorated and tranquil. I feel so hopeful now and happier in every way! I am very grateful.
Personally I have got more from as little as two sessions with Katya than any counselling session in the past. With Katya you feel totally supported. The positive reinforcements help you work through everything in a very positive way. I found that Katya managed to identify what made me tick as a person and I enjoyed speaking to her as she is very caring but at the same time challenges your thinking. The sessions went above and beyond my expectations.
Thank you for listening and your kindness.
Katya helped me get through a lot of my problems and helped me to start thinking about myself more.
This was immensely helpful to me - insightful and freeing in that I don’t feel guilty in taking time to focus on me and address how I’m feeling. The insightful questions from Katya and how much I was able to open up and talk about difficult things, has also helped me to stop trying to fix people. This has lessened my feelings of guilt and helplessness in these situations – what a gift – thank you! It makes so much sense to me now and it will be something I continue to do given the comfort it gives me.
Before I would drag my negative thoughts with me like a ball and chain. Now I feel more relaxed and I feel able to replace negative thoughts for the first time ever. I really enjoyed the sessions and I continue to use the relaxing techniques. Katya has such a lovely calm voice.
Katya was brilliant. She kept each session fresh by introducing new techniques. Thank you.
It’s been great to take some time out of my busy life just for me. Katya is so calm herself that she makes you feel relaxed. We have covered such a range and I have benefitted from a number of therapies with Katya. She is a calming presence in my life & I can’t wait to work with her again. I would highly recommend Lighthearts UK.
Mindfulness has helped me to think positively, remain in the present and to stop worrying about future problems. I very much enjoyed the sessions and feel that they have helped me a lot. Katya has the right personality for her role, and whenever I feel stressed or worried I will be able to relax, close my eyes and breathe deeply.
Katya tailors the sessions to my needs. I get so much from it. Katya has this aura about her which just takes you to a magical peaceful place. Thank you.
