Meet Olena
Dr. Olena Edwards-Skadowska - Therapist, Author and Mental Health Advocate
Hello and a warm welcome to my page!
I am a British-Ukrainian psychotherapist, born in Ukraine and raised in West London.
I am delighted to greet you here and share some information about myself, what I do and how we can potentially work together to achieve your goals in therapy and well-being.
I strongly believe in Aristotelian ethics that happy individuals make happy and healthy communities and share the view that happiness is a practice and well-being is a skill.
I was trained to be a therapist under Professor Del Lowenthal in London, following a successful international career as a CEO of a global educational consultancy.
I can proudly say that becoming a therapist was a conscious career change for me and I am passionate about my work in Mental Health. I managed to overcome my own burnout and a subsequent depression and am acutely aware of the pitfalls and traps we fall into living in the society that values achievement over genuine human connection.
I have over 20 years of wide-ranging experience in the field of therapy and well-being, having worked for voluntary organisations and private clinics, student counselling, a refugee centre and NHS. Most recently , I have been successfully collaborating with the Harley Therapy London as a psychotherapist and a well-being coach.
In 2023 I founded London Trusted Therapy to share my knowledge and conduct further research in the areas of mental health that I specialise in.
My specialisms and who I work with
I am very fortunate to have studied and lived internationally, working extensively with issues of diversity, gender, racial and cultural integration. I work with adolescents, adults and couples.
My areas of expertise lie in working with depression and anxiety, loss and bereavement, trauma, relationships, parenting, work and careers, cancer and problems raised by addiction and abuse. My clinical interests also lie in working with clients diagnosed with adult ADHD and CPTSD. I deliver both short-term and open-ended, long-term therapy.
My philosophy as a therapist
I view therapy as a shared journey and believe in equality in therapeutic relationship. I have the utmost respect for my clients and value greatly their input in our collaborative endeavour.
My accreditation bodies
I am fully accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP Accred) and also hold a full membership with The British Society of Sexual Medicine (MBSSM).
Professional Awards
Most recently, in recognition of my contribution to the field of Healthcare, I received an Outstanding Leadership Award in Mental Health at the Health 2:0 conference in Dubai (February 2024)
