Jana Krecanova
BACP Accredited Counsellor/ Psychotherapist
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I am passionate about using my skills to help people to overcome personal difficulties and live a happier and more satisfying life. I base my work on the values of respect, trust, tolerance, fairness, freedom of choice, and honesty. My therapeutic approach is integrative.
As an integrative therapist I have brought knowledge from different traditions together to develop my own personal style. I tailor my approach to my client’s individual needs drawing on insights and concepts of various therapeutic approaches, particularly the Person-Centred, Existential, EMDR, and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT). At the core of my approach is a genuine, non-judgemental, and compassionate attitude.
I have five and a half years’ experience of working at the Centre for Better Health in Hackney and six years’ experience working in private practice, including working with clients referred to me by an employee assistance programme (EAP) and BUPA. I have worked with a variety of mental health difficulties including depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and anxiety disorders.
Some of my clients have not experienced any serious mental health disturbances but required support with facing various life challenges, for example difficulties with personal relationships, dealing with abusive relationships, low self-esteem, and stress. My specialist interest is in working with low self-esteem and related issues such anxiety, depression and trauma. I have gained recognition as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional by Evergreen Certifications.
