Alina Shushkevich (She/her)Psychologist

Person-centred care is the guiding principle that governs my work as a psychologist. My style of practice is quite dynamic, which means that I take guidance from you about how you want your treatment and sessions to be structured. I will work with you to understand your unique concerns and goals for therapy. The initial focus of therapy with me will be to build your insight and help you understand the unhelpful patterns that impact your daily life and cause you emotional, behavioural and relationship problems. Drawing on this understanding, I will support you to develop practical skills to help deal with your difficulties and increase your psychological wellbeing. I believe that a safe and non judgemental therapeutic space is integral to this process. I have experience working with people of all age groups from 16+ but primarily work with adults, focusing on younger adults. I also provide couples therapy using a Schema Therapy approach. I am also a Board Approved Supervisor and offer clinical supervision to provisionally and generally registered psychologists. I also offer primary and secondary supervision to psychologists completing the Clinical Psychology Registrar program.
