About Kristyana
Kristyana Jimdar is a counsellor who moved to the UK after completing a Master of Counselling Children and Young People from the University of Northampton. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She draws on practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.
Kristyana uses straightforward, activity-based work in sessions. That can include worksheets, journalling and creative exercises. She is comfortable with talking through painful events, grief and trauma, and she also supports people coping with changes in life and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes person-centred listening with tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused brief work. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented while still allowing space to process emotions. Where words are hard, she can work with photos or short videos to help people communicate what they are feeling.
Kristyana also brings experience from Animal Assisted Therapy, having worked with therapeutic animals in the past. That background informs a gentle, nurturing style when people need comfort alongside practical steps. She supports issues related to eating and sleeping, anger, self-esteem and communication problems.
Other areas she addresses include attachment and family of origin issues, blended family matters, substance use concerns and domestic violence related distress. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Approaches Kristyana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT provides practical tools such as thought records and behavioural experiments that can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit too; it concentrates on small, achievable steps and the changes someone wants to see. This approach is useful for people who want goal-driven sessions and quicker progress on specific issues.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and life situation and adapt methods together over time. That means sessions can shift between listening, practical exercises and short-term goal work as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit conversations where non-verbal cues help, phone sessions can fit a work break or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging or live chat work well for short check-ins, journalling-style exchanges or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and different communication needs.
