Psychotherapy, counselling and coaching in Esher, Surrey and online
I’m Olga, an integrative psychotherapist and a coach, working with adults aged 18 and over in Esher, Surrey and online.
You may be looking for support at a time when something in your life feels unsettled, unclear or difficult to carry alone – or when you feel ready to make a change but are unsure how to move forward.
Depending on what you are looking for, I offer psychotherapy and counselling, which provide space to reflect on and understand your experience more deeply, as well as coaching, which is more focused on direction, decision-making and taking practical steps forward.
Alongside my private practice, I work clinically within an NHS GP surgery, providing counselling and psychotherapy to people experiencing a wide range of emotional, relational and health-related difficulties. I am currently completing an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in corporate finance. This background contributes to my understanding of demanding professional environments, career and identity transitions, and the tensions that can arise between work, relationships, health, family responsibilities and personal values.
I work with people from a wide range of personal, professional and cultural backgrounds. This may include anxiety and overwhelm, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, questions of identity and belonging, and the emotional and psychological impact of chronic pain, illness or changes in health. I also welcome migrants, expatriates, international clients and third-culture adults who may be navigating relocation, cultural adjustment or a changing sense of home and belonging.
Current availability: I have limited availability for reduced-fee psychotherapy online and in Esher, as well as for online coaching.
Psychotherapy and counselling
Psychotherapy provides a confidential and consistent space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in how you relate to yourself and others.
People often come to therapy when something in their life feels difficult, overwhelming, or hard to make sense of, even if they can’t fully explain why.
My approach is integrative and relational, meaning I draw from different therapeutic perspectives – including psychodynamic, humanistic, and neurobiological understandings – while placing importance on the therapeutic relationship as a space where understanding and change can develop over time.
I also work in a phenomenological way, paying close attention to your lived experience – how you see your life, what feels difficult, and what holds meaning for you. This is a collaborative process, where we make sense of things together, rather than applying fixed interpretations.
Alongside this, I hold in mind the wider context of your life – including cultural influences, relationships, and the impact of social and power dynamics – and how these may shape your experiences and difficulties.
I am currently completing an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and offer a limited number of reduced-fee psychotherapy sessions as part of my clinical training, alongside my ongoing work within an NHS GP setting.
I work in both short-term and longer-term, open-ended ways, depending on your needs and what feels appropriate for the work. I work with adults aged 18 and over.
Coaching
I also offer Therapeutic Coaching for clients who are looking to engage with specific areas of their life in a more active and practical way.
I am a qualified coach and have been working with clients over the past few years across a range of areas, including wellbeing, life transitions, career changes, and periods of feeling stuck or uncertain about direction.
Coaching is more directive and goal-oriented than psychotherapy. It involves setting clear intentions, identifying practical steps, and working towards specific changes. While we may still reflect on underlying patterns, the emphasis is on moving forward, finding solutions, and taking action.
This approach is structured and works best for those who are ready to engage actively and commit to the process of change.
Who I work with
You may be considering therapy or coaching if…
Something in your life feels difficult to carry or make sense of.
You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, or a sense of being overwhelmed, or finding yourself caught in patterns that feel hard to shift. This can include unhelpful or addictive patterns, or a difficult relationship with food, your body, or your health.
There may be challenges in relationships, questions around identity, direction, or a sense of belonging, or a feeling of being stuck, disconnected, or not quite yourself.
At times, experiences such as loss, stress, or past difficulties may continue to have an impact in ways that are not always clear. This may also include the emotional demands of parenting and the complexities of family life.
Depending on what you are looking for, this may be explored through psychotherapy or counselling, or through coaching if you feel ready to take more active steps towards change.
