Baiba Jukame-Kalvane

Working Monday to Thursday 8am-5.00pm (with rare exceptions)

My work is informed by psychoanalytic, existential and humanistic theory and I have a specific interest in body-mind connection, self-compassion and mindfulness. What this means in practice is that I focus on the needs of each individual in a unique and dynamic way.

My presence as a therapist can be described as down-to-earth, authentic and guided by genuine curiosity about the human experience. I offer a healthy balance of empathy and challenge and a supportive, non-judgemental, safe and fully confidential space in which we can explore your experience in the world and the issues that may be troubling you.

We can explore both the present and the past. We can slow down and try to understand more fully what's truly happening in the present moment, tune into your felt experience and explore if any cognitive thought distortions might be present. We can also explore if your past experiences, such as a stressful home environment, emotional neglect or strict control whilst growing up, rejection, abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), complicated relationships, are unprocessed or still having a powerful effect on your present life. We can also explore the existential givens (freedom, responsibility, death, uncertainty etc.) and the absurdity of life. All of this can be done with gentle curiosity and by putting your needs as a client in the center.

I am passionate about helping you gain greater self-awareness and understanding through which you can live life in a more authentic, comfortable and fulfilling way.

I have several years of experience working therapeutically within the mental health sector, with a background in social care and youth work.

Alongside private practice, I used to work as a counsellor at an LGBTQ+ mental health charity and at King’s College London.

Qualifications:

MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling - Regent’s University

Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling - Regent’s University

Foundation Certificate in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Coaching - New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling

BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Drama - Kingston University

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and follow their ethical framework. I regularly attend Continuing Professional Development trainings to support my work.

I am currently on a further psychotherapy training course in Psycho-organic Analysis, which focuses on a combination of psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis and body-orientated therapy.

I have experience working with a range of issues, such as:

Anxiety & panic attacks

Depression

Bereavement

Self-esteem issues

Self-harm and suicidal thoughts

Trauma

Eating disorders and body image

Relationship and sex issues

Career and work struggles

Addictions

LGBTQ+ specific issues

Existential and spiritual issues

I am currently working via online video only (which can often be more convenient and has been proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy)

If you are interested in working together, please contact me via email to arrange an initial consultation session which lasts 15-20 minutes and is free of charge. During this initial session we can discuss what brings you to therapy and how we might work together. There is no obligation to continue if you do not think we are the right fit.

All sessions are 50 minutes long and usually at the same time each week. I offer therapy on a short-term basis (6 to 14 sessions) and on a long-term, open-ended basis. I provide online video sessions via Zoom.

Please feel free to contact if you have any further questions.
