About Kristyana
Kristyana Jimdar is a counsellor with a background that spans the Caribbean, the United States and the United Kingdom. She holds a Master’s in Counselling Children and Young People from the University of Northampton and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Her work emphasises a warm, person-focused way of helping people talk about stress, anxiety, grief and LGBT-related concerns.
Kristyana draws on Client-Centred Therapy principles to build a supportive space where people feel heard.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Creative methods such as journaling, worksheets and art can be used when words are hard to find, and clients are welcome to share pictures or short videos to help explain how they feel.
She trained in the UK and has worked in settings that included animal-assisted activities, which inform her gentle, practical approach. That experience shaped how she uses non-verbal tools to help people process emotions. Sessions are framed around the person’s needs and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Kristyana works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Based in the United Kingdom, she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the platform Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How client-centred and practical approaches work online
Kristyana uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. This approach helps build trust and keeps the work grounded in the client’s own priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding. It works well for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers clear strategies to try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and the client’s strengths. It can be helpful when people want to set short-term goals and notice what is already working in their lives.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then suggest ways to combine methods. People are invited to try different tools and give feedback so the plan can change over time.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so check the platform to confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family, study or work commitments, and creative tools like worksheets, journaling and sharing images can be used between meetings to keep progress moving without extra appointments.
