Kristyana Jimdar
Compassionate counsellor with practical tools
About Kristyana
Kristyana Jimdar is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience. Kristyana focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She trained at the University of Northampton and completed a Masters in Counselling Children and Young People. Her path included time in the United States where she worked at Green Chimneys, a centre known for animal-assisted activity.
Background and approach
That experience informed a gentle, relational style that can include creative or animals-informed ways of working when helpful. Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical strategies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to help identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and notice progress between sessions. Sessions can use worksheets, journaling or creative tasks such as sharing photos or short videos to express feelings when words are hard. Kristyana aims for simple, straight talk and practical steps that fit everyday life.
She works with a wide range of personal concerns including family-of-origin issues, communication problems, substance-related difficulties, and body image. International clients may be supported in English and sessions are offered online in several formats to suit different needs.

How these approaches work in online counselling
Kristyana uses client-centred work and structured techniques to help people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked and uses simple exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals so progress can be seen between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They can try different techniques and adapt as work progresses so the plan fits each person's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and use worksheets together. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, journalling-style work or when someone prefers typing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, travel or family routines.
