Valentina Chichiniova

About Valentina

By working in a partnership with you, my role is to assist and empower you to reconnect with and build upon your unique strengths so that you can confront the challenges you face. In a client-centered experiential approach, I will lead you into a process of discussions and activities that will help you recognise, understand and reframe, change, or rewire rigid and/or unhelpful thoughts, feelings, behaviours, sensations and memories, so that you can reconnect with your life in a way that is working for you!

I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology. I have extensive post graduate training aimed at helping clients work through past traumas, including early childhood/ complex trauma. I take an integrative approach to working with clients and tailor our work together to meet your needs. I am an Approved Consultant in EMDR therapy. I continue to pursue professional excellence through extensive continuous education and consultations.

I have worked with adults, youth, and children in community and inpatient settings, supporting them through struggles such as past traumatic events, complex trauma, anxieties (from phobia to exam stress), depression, bi-polar disorder, disordered eating, life stress, coaching and much more.

I am looking forward to being part of your journey towards growth and healing!
