Meet Sviatlana
A therapist who has lived the journey herself.
Sviatlana has been helping couples and individuals improve their lives and relationships since 2006. Growing up witnessing ongoing conflict between her parents, she spent years learning, through positive psychology, life coaching and couples therapy training — the strategies, attitudes and skills that make the relationships thrive over the years.
Today, she brings both professional expertise and lived wisdom to every session. Happily married since 2006, she knows first-hand that these skills, when applied, create lasting connection.
Beyond the Session
How EMDR & trauma training enhance your therapy
What sets Sviatlana apart from a standard marriage counsellor is her multi-modality expertise. She understands that relationship problems are often fuelled by individual histories.
As a qualified Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist — EMDR and trauma trained — Sviatlana can support you individually to address limiting beliefs, fears and personal hurdles that may be contributing to problems in your relationship.
By resolving past trauma, she helps the individual heal so that the couple can truly flourish.

Restoring Intimacy
Rebuilding sexual intimacy & connection
Many couples find that they have stopped being intimate, or that their desires no longer align. This is more common than you think — and it is something Sviatlana works with regularly.
Using emotionally focused techniques, Sviatlana teaches you that sexual intimacy is built on a foundation of trust, emotional safety, deep friendship and regularly expressed appreciation, affection and admiration by both partners for each other. By strengthening your emotional connection and affection, the sexual connection often follows naturally.

The Gottman Method
Why science matters in couples therapy
If you’ve wondered “does couples therapy work?” — the answer lies in the method. Sviatlana’s therapy is based on the ‘Sound Relationship House’ theory, developed and scientifically proven over 40 years by world-renowned psychologists Drs John and Julie Gottman.
The Gottman Method is the only proven framework in couples therapy that delivers positive, lasting results — unlike approaches with no scientific evidence behind them.
Both partners complete a comprehensive questionnaire after the free initial consultation. These results reveal exactly which areas of your relationship need attention, meaning real coaching begins from your very first session. This also sets Sviatlana apart from many other couple therapists, who only ask questions and gather information in the first 3 sessions. With Sviatlana you will be learning the necessary skills to improve your relationship from your 1st couples therapy session!
