Kina Malmberg-Lovatt
Registered Psychotherapist in Oxford

Kina came across as experienced, persistent and flexible in her approach on a session to session basis. She was able to point me towards a better understanding of my own behaviour in relation to optimising work relationships and dealing with conflict in personal relationships. By helping me identify how I had internalised certain childhood experiences, and how they were still influencing assumptions I was making in adulthood, it was much easier to identify practical steps to change my strategy. I also appreciated her parallel focus on eating habits and sleep patterns and how they influenced my thought patterns.

Kina was sensitive and responsive whilst also giving us the opportunity to be challenged. She is very professional and we felt we were in safe hands.

I had therapy with Kina to attempt to address long-term depression and nightmares. I had tens of sessions over more than a year. Kina was skilled in measuring what kind of approach to an issue - more gentle or more direct - would be most helpful for me at different times. Kina was very good at observing my physical responses during our discussions and using those responses to explore my underlying emotions. Kina has a wealth of psychological knowledge and insight at her fingertips, so I felt very much in safe hands. I would strongly recommend Kina as a therapist. During the period in which I was having therapy, I became more confident, less depressed, and more able to cope and happy than I had ever been before, and I have remained that way since. I feel she really helped me develop in myself. I finished treatment with Kina over a year ago, but it's really good to know that she's there to return to if something crops up.
