About Me.
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection" - Buddha.
Hi, my name is Anastasia Taisumova. I knew i wanted to be a therapist since an early age, I was always the one everyone turned to for advise. My journey of becoming a psychologist did not start right away, nevertheless, I followed my dream and became psychologist and psychotherapist in my adulthood.
​
I work with English and Russian speaking clients. During counselling I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques combined with additional approaches such as Solution focused therapy, Systemic Therapy, Mindfulness therapy and other techniques.
I believe every mind is beautiful and every issue is solvable and provides an opportunity for growth. During counselling sessions I will do my best to collaboratively work on finding the solution or the way toward clients goals. I seek to help others to build a connection which their inner self, be able to identify their needs and strengths.
​
A great moment in therapy happens when a client is able to prioritise their needs and communicate it outside of the therapy room.
