Renata Juraske, NCPS

Renata Juraske uses a blend of talking therapies to help people manage difficult emotions and life changes. She is described by her NCPS credential and brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Renata speaks English and Lithuanian and offers sessions online by video, phone, chat or text.

Renata focuses on common and painful issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, addictions, eating difficulties and struggles with self-esteem. Practical matters like career stress and coping with life changes are part of her day-to-day work.

Her style draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That mix is used to suit each person's needs rather than follow a single method. Sessions aim to make feelings clearer, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop small changes that make daily life easier.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters to them. Renata aims to teach coping tools so people leave better able to handle future challenges. She encourages people to understand the roots of their difficulties and to practise new ways of thinking and relating.

Renata has practical experience working with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, control issues, jealousy and questions about life purpose.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and empathy to help people feel heard and understood; it is useful for those needing a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on stabilising symptoms, processing traumatic memories when ready, and building coping strategies for people with a history of abuse or serious stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the problems you bring and then suggest a combination of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, interactive meeting is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits a work break. Chat and text-based messaging work well for short reflections, quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing to speaking. Many people find this range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
