About Me

My name is Kristyana (Krissy) Jimdar and I am from the beautiful Caribbean island, Trinidad. I have obtained a Bachelor’s in Psychology (Special) from the University of the West Indies, Trinidad and my Master’s in Counselling Children and Young People from the University of Northampton, England. I interned for a year in New York, working in a residential treatment facility, Green Chimneys, where I expanded my skill of working therapeutically with children and young people alongside a wide range of animals as co-therapists.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I am passionate about working with children and adolescents. Naturally, I am a very empathetic person, always listening with a positive and open-minded approach. As a member of the BACP, I subscribe to their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

I work using the integrative method that comprises of a number of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT), creative therapy, play therapy, systemic therapy and Animal- Assisted Therapy (AAT). I offer counselling services for children and young people within Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes area and also offer remote services.

ABOUT SESSIONS

I offer a brief introductory session where we can chat about your general issues. This is a ‘get to know’ each other type of session to help build the comfort and security while you or your child start their therapeutic journey. Sessions typically last between 6-8 weeks, but will be varied depending on the complexity of the issues.
