Rimma Tertytska

Hello, and thank you for visiting my page.

I offer a safe and understanding space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what’s happening in your life.

Many of my clients come to therapy after difficult or overwhelming experiences — sometimes recent, sometimes from long ago. You might be feeling stuck, anxious, low in confidence, or noticing patterns that keep repeating in your relationships or work. Together, we’ll explore these experiences at a pace that feels right for you, so you can find relief, strength, and a clearer sense of direction.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic methods to match what you personally need — from structured, solution-focused strategies to more creative or reflective work. Some people prefer to talk through what’s on their mind; others connect better through imagery, grounding, or body-based techniques. We’ll choose what helps you feel most supported.

I have a special interest in trauma recovery, including the effects of stress, loss, and life transitions. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting the past — it means learning how to live more fully in the present, with greater calm and self-trust.

I work with adults in English and Ukrainian, both in person in Tunbridge Wells and online.

Our first conversation is usually a brief 10–15-minute call to see if we’re a good fit and to answer your questions about therapy.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be glad to meet you and explore how we can work together.

In a safe and confidential space, I aim to learn your ways, your beliefs, your sense of self to see what's preventing you from living the life you want.

We can get as creative as you want in the sessions with a wide range of resources like art, cards and body work to name a few.

I do a lot of empty chair work and parts therapy to gain clarity of your aspects of self and to address "stuckness". 

Initially, let's arrange a 10-15 minute call. We'll discuss your goals, availability and for you to get a feel of what it's like to work with me.

At the first session we'll do an assessment to establish what you want to gain from our work and how I can help you. I will normally ask you about your life, what impacts you, childhood memories and aspirations for the future. You are welcome to ask me about my training, expertise and how I work.

Each session is 50 minutes. We will review our work regularly to make sure you are getting what you want from therapy.

London Clients - I currently have availability online only. I work over teams but don't mind if you have a preference for a different platform. 

I currently have availability on Mondays and Wednesdays in central Tunbridge Wells. Please get in touch with your preferred slot and I'll try to accommodate. 

Hello and welcome,

I'm Rimma, an integrative counsellor and an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) trainer empowering adults to heal from trauma, navigate life’s changes, and achieve their goals with compassionate, expert counselling.

Therapy can be quick and focused on a single aspect, or it can take you on a journey by peeling layers of your intricate and unique self. At different life stages you might want either or both and I'm here to work with you. 

I work with adults in private practice and charities such as West Kent Mind, providing counselling for anxiety, depression, loss, domestic abuse and major life changes. As well as with Family Matters, counselling survivors of sexual abuse and rape. I also practice Rewind therapy - a quick and sure way to get rid of flashbacks.

My interest lies in trauma work, which impacts all aspects of our lives and prohibits us from growing forward healthily. 

In a safe and confidential space, I aim to learn your ways, your beliefs, your sense of self to see what's preventing you from living the life you want. 

We can get as creative as you want in the sessions with a wide range of resources like art, cards and body work to name a few.

I work online and in person from central Tunbridge Wells - close to the station and with free and paid for parking options available. 

As a Neuro-Linguistic Programming trainer, I deliver NLP and developmental training to groups and companies. 

NLP Practitioner training is a 7-module course, where each module is run over two days once a month. Thus, the full seven modules are completed within 7 months. In between each module the practitioners are given homework on skills, challenging their thinking, beliefs and communication with others. For a detailed NLP program please get in touch further. 

I can also adapt the training to the needs of your group or organisation to run a one or half day training on a single topic. This can be on a mixture of the following: NLP, managing feelings, dealing with anxiety, finding common ground with people, resilience, goal setting, limiting beliefs, unconscious communication, language models. 

The training can take place at your organisation's office or in a suitable training room. I currently practice in central Tunbridge Wells but am flexible and mobile. Please get in touch to discuss specifics.
