Meet Yana!

Hello!

My name is Yana, and as I will be starting at Mind and Body Psychology, I wanted to introduce myself a bit more!

In terms of psychology work, I have previously provided assessment and therapy for children and adults within the UK and Australia.

Currently, I provide therapy for individuals (8 years+) with a variety of anxiety, depression and autism and ADHD whilst using a CBT and ACT approach within therapy sessions.

I love helping others in their journey of healing to create the best version of themselves and for them to reach their full potential!

When I am not working, I am training for my Marathon, spending time at the beach, eating out, or going to the gym!

Given my passion for exercise, where appropriate, I love incorporating this into our therapy treatment plans/goals.
