Background and approach

He has worked with clients internationally in different rehabilitation contexts and has a background helping people recover from substance-related problems. In sessions he concentrates on identifying strengths and practical next steps. Conversations aim to be clear and structured, with goals agreed together.

He uses gentle challenge alongside encouragement so people can try new ways of coping and notice what changes help. Dmitri draws on several recognised therapy styles. He uses client-centred ways to build a trusting working relationship.

He applies cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and make stepwise changes. Mindfulness and motivational approaches also appear to support motivation and reduce stress. Sessions are framed around what the client wants to achieve.

How Dmitri's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. The aim is to help people feel heard and to explore what matters most to them, which supports work on trauma, grief and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change patterns linked to addiction or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dmitri will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that honours the client’s preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a busy day with less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try new strategies between sessions and work around daily commitments.
