Julia Dvinskaya is a Biographical Counselling and Coaching practitioner with a Dip.Biog.Couns qualification and accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Biographical Counselling and Coaching is a holistic approach that focuses on working with the whole person, not just their current symptoms. Julia tailors her approach to suit the individual's needs and life circumstances, offering either a focused 8-12 sessions approach or longer therapeutic periods.

The process begins by finding a 'starting question' that guides and focuses each session. Julia specialises in providing support for individuals and families dealing with symptoms of ADHD or other neurodiversity diagnoses. She understands that when someone in the family has such a diagnosis, it can impact the entire family circle, and she offers holistic support as part of a multidisciplinary approach within the Clinic.

In the sessions, Julia and her clients explore how current struggles have manifested in the individual's earlier life and identify coping strategies that have been used before, noting what has been helpful and what hasn't. Together, they explore and practise more beneficial ways of living and being, enabling the client to express themselves confidently in personal, social, and professional relationships.

Biographical Counselling and Coaching involves working on different levels, including the physical body (daily rhythms and self-care practices), thoughts, feelings, motivations, and inspirations. Julia utilises tools such as the biography chart, which provides insights into life themes, increases understanding of one's potential and how to achieve it, and supports stepping into future life tasks with greater confidence.
