About Kristyana
Kristyana Jimdar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and a BACP credential. She draws on her academic training and varied experience to offer approachable, down-to-earth support. She speaks English and accepts international clients, and she offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Kristyana builds sessions around what each person needs. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and help people reflect on their feelings.
How Kristyana works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical next steps. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
There is additional focus on issues such as attachment problems, body image, communication difficulties, substance use, and fatherhood issues. Kristyana offers supportive, straightforward conversation and concrete tools to try between sessions. Sessions can include worksheets, journalling prompts, or simple creative tasks.
Clients may share photos or short videos when visual approaches help express feelings. Kristyana adapts methods to match each person’s comfort and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach is collaborative and practical.
She helps people set small goals and track progress over time. People looking for a calm, attentive counsellor who mixes listening with hands-on techniques may find this style helpful.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. In online sessions this means the counsellor gives space for the person to reflect and respond, helping them explore feelings at their own pace. This approach can help with depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying thoughts that feed difficult emotions and testing new ways of thinking. Remotely this often uses worksheets, thought records, and short between-session tasks to practise changes and track progress; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that move things forward. Online work can focus on setting clear goals and checking simple actions week to week to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and share creative work, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports reflection over time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study, or family commitments while using the approaches above.
