About

Hello...I'm Ivan. I am a qualified and compassionate counsellor with extensive experience supporting individuals of all ages across diverse mental health settings, including inpatient care, community outreach teams and within educational settings. My background has equipped me to work with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, from acute crises to longer-term therapeutic support. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for good practice.

In addition to my private practice in Winchester, I also serve as a counsellor at a Sixth Form College, where I specialise in helping young people (16+) navigate the pressures of adolescence, education, and personal growth. This has further deepened my understanding of the unique needs of this age group, fostering resilience and self-awareness during pivotal life stages.  

Specialising in Transactional Analysis (TA), I use this approach to help clients explore relational dynamics, unhelpful patterns, and personal growth. My practice is also informed by a humanistic approach, ensuring therapy is tailored to your individual needs.  

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, or another challenge, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to collaborate on meaningful and lasting change.
