Anastasia is a full professional member of the British Association of Dance/Movement Psychotherapy (ADMP UK, 2017) and abides by the Ethical Code of Practice of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). As a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist—often described as a body-and-mind therapist—she brings a deeply compassionate and embodied approach to her work, rooted in a profound respect for the complexity of human experience.
Described as fiercely compassionate, gracefully provocative, and a passionate pattern finder, Anastasia holds a strong curiosity about what it means to be human. She creates a space where clients can explore the messy, the taboo, and the unspoken. With warmth and authenticity, she honours the magic within our bones and listens attentively to the stories that shape who we are.
Anastasia brings transparency to her therapeutic work. Her areas of expertise are grounded not only in professional training but also in personal experience—where she has herself transformed pain into peace. She believes healing is not linear but circular, a process of returning to ourselves with gentleness and renewed awareness.
- Areas of Specialism
With over 8 years of clinical experience, Anastasia supports clients navigating:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Relationship issues (with self and others)
- Low self-worth and identity struggles
- Dissociation
- Unexplained physical pain
- Work-related stress and burnout
- Anxiety and depression
Her special interest in trauma emerged through in-depth, somatic-based studies exploring the neurobiological impact of trauma—not just on the brain, but also on the nervous system. This insight underpins her holistic approach to therapy, treating the body and mind as interwoven and equally essential to the healing journey.
- Therapeutic Approach
Anastasia offers a client-centred, solution-focused approach rooted in compassion, transparency, and the body–mind connection. In her 50-minute sessions, she integrates traditional talk therapy with body-based interventions, tailoring her work to each client’s unique needs and pace.
Modalities she draws from include:
- Somatic exercises (especially for chronic pain management)
- Mindfulness and meditation
- Tapping (EFT)
- Movement and creative expression
- Integrative psychotherapy techniques
A key focus of Anastasia’s work is the nervous system—the place where trauma and tension often live silently. Her therapeutic presence invites regulation, reconnection, and a gentle return to the body’s innate wisdom.
