Galina Donevska
Accredited High Intensity CBT Therapist
With extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and seven years of experience working for various mental health services, I am keen to help you achieve a meaningful SHIFT.
My strengths are in helping you reach insight through learning how your mind and emotions work, how to observe your thought processes and be in control of your responses. I draw inspiration from both, ancient philosophy and modern neuroscience. I find beauty and empowerment in being able to help you understand how they are both incredibly relevant to your day-to-day life.
What makes me excited about working on this with you is that through the use of specialised techniques we will communicate with your emotional brain just as much as we will communicate with your reasoning brain, and that is where the real change happens!

How do we achieve the SHIFT?
