Gulya DiyarovaEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals

Relationship counselling & Psychosexual therapy for couples & individuals

Central London, Cavendish Square

Coronavirus UPDATE
I want to extend my helping hand to all of you who are at home right now and NEED support and guidance in re-building your relationship, connection and compassion, and how to manage your life and worries in a more constructive and kindhearted way.
I am trained in offering secure confidential therapy ON-LINE (Skype, Zoom, or another video call option), and I am looking forward to supporting you in this difficult time.

I am medically trained and fully qualified Relationship and Psychosexual therapist and counsellor. I help people in distress, with variety of problems, to change their negative patterns of ‘blame-defend’ or 'attack-withdraw' into safe emotional connection and functioning. I work predominantly in Attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy approach EFT, which is about learning how to stay together even through painful and difficult times.

I work in many modalities with different and challenging life stage transitions and kinds of relationship, if you are married or not, long-term partners or more recent, separated or together, heterosexual, gay or lesbian, and most importantly the relationship with yourself.

My first career in Moscow was as a medical doctor, paediatrician and clinical neurologist, with Clinical Residency and PostGraduate qualifications in child development and neuropathology. I moved to the UK in 1993 and later on retrained and qualified in Systemic therapy, Psychodynamic approach, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Early Attachment and Psychopathology, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and as a Psychosexual therapist.

To come to therapy may often feel like a big and courageous step to take, and It Is. It also means change has already begun.
If you’ve arrived here you probably are feeling troubled… Unhappy… Stressed… Stuck… Lonely in your own relationship… Hurt… Angry… Confused… Disconnected…Dealing with tough circumstances… Unsure of your direction or purpose in life…

Aren’t we all sometimes?

I believe we all need help at times to access our own resources, to empower us to gain more understanding of who we are, where our difficulties may stem from and make meaningful changes for ourselves.
In my therapy room you will find a safe and confidential place of your own to talk, see what is happening for you, and explore the ways to become stronger and more resourceful in your life. The place where you are not judged or blamed, but accepted, valued and understood.

Reasons to come for therapy:

- Communication breakdown, misunderstanding, conflict;

- Sense of loneliness, isolation, hurt feelings, anger, excessive anxiety;

- Emotional shut down, distancing or blaming, critical, ‘attacking’ behaviours;

- Depression;

- Relational and/or Parenting difficulties;

- Infidelity;

- Navigating divorce or separation;

- Past or current trauma;

- Cross-cultural relationships;

- Sexual concerns and difficulties, lack of intimacy;

- Deciding to get married, starting a family, fertility issues, adjusting to the birth of a baby;

- Career related concerns and adapting to the changes of life stages.

I work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period and have both daytime and evening slots.
