Ellina Shmarkovskaya
I hold an MSc in Electronic Engineering and a BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also am an Argentine Tango dancer. In my practice I integrate Mindfulness, Contextual and Person Centred Therapy with elements of CBT, Art Therapy, Gestalt and Tango Therapy, approaching each client as a unique individual in a unique set of circumstances, with unique life challenges and coping mechanisms. I work with clients, presenting with high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, communications difficulties, loss, bereavement, low self-esteem, loss of identity, relationship issues, loneliness, general dissatisfaction with life and other issues. Due to my own experience of immigration and cross-cultural and multi-lingual family, I am particularly interested in stories and issues related to immigration.
