More about Kosma
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a 28 year-old licensed CBT therapist based in Scotland. During my 3 years of experience, I've helped clients with various issues, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, social anxiety, anger management, abusive or strained relationships, work & school stress, sexual abuse, and self-harm. I've also worked with people who are not quite sure what's wrong, who've felt like their problems are not "severe enough" to get therapy, or who simply wanted a space to talk. Come as you are! If you feel like there's a problem you want to talk over with someone, you deserve a space that allows that.
My style of therapy is very collaborative. I am very aware of the common pitfalls of CBT and how it can be applied in an unhelpful way. I want to avoid that. The guiding principle of my approach is that you are the expert in the counselling room. I want to ensure that what we're doing together is happening on your terms, at your pace. I want you to feel safe to share doubt and apprehension about therapy or the ideas I bring forward. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions, and my job is to help you find one that is helpful for you.
I hope that you find the therapeutic relationship that you deserve. Thank you for considering me!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
