Professional Memberships
Daria is a UK-trained psychology professional and BACP-registered practitioner offering coaching services in Dubai that focus on self-development, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth. With a Master’s in Psychology and a background in journalism and literature, she brings a rare combination of psychological insight and social awareness to her coaching work. She is currently in the final stages of obtaining HCPC accreditation as a Counselling Psychologist in the UK (pending).
With over 13 years of professional and personal transformation, Daria draws on her diverse experiences to connect authentically with clients from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. She believes these insights enable her to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for meaningful conversations and personal exploration.
Daria’s coaching approach is grounded in the principles of psychology, informed by current research, and tailored to each client’s needs. Her practice is integrative and relational, offering support through reflective dialogue, values-based exercises, and emotional regulation tools. Her methods are inspired by person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural models, used strictly within a coaching context to guide and empower clients.
Daria sees her role not as a fixer, but as a facilitator of self-discovery and growth. She believes every challenge can be viewed through a broader existential lens — as a stepping stone to deeper insight and transformation. She honours the uniqueness of each individual and adjusts the pace and direction of her sessions with sensitivity and care.
With a background in both psychology and literature, Daria has a strong interest in cultural, ethical, and philosophical perspectives that often shape our inner world. Her coaching conversations are enriched by this awareness, especially when working with clients from varied sociocultural backgrounds or those wrestling with questions of meaning, identity, or self-expression.
