Anya is very professional, knowledgeable, straight-to-the-point and empathetic. After our first session I had great insights, I also had helpful takeaways and together we developed an action plan for me. Seeing Anya makes my life better and helps me achieve my relationship, career and financial goals.

I cannot imagine a more pleasant and effective therapist than Anya. Every time my partner and I meet with her, all the heaviness around our relationship challenges lifts immediately.

I initially went to Anya for sex therapy but it has become so much more. Anya is modern, warm, welcoming. I found others to be clinical whereas she is so friendly and kind. She makes you feel so safe and calm. Highly intelligent and more helpful than I can put into words. Thank you Anya!

Anya is a wonderful therapist! She is so compassionate and has created a safe & nurturing environment to help me work through my trauma. I have never ever felt judged or dismissed by her; it’s like she has an innate belief that all my feelings are valid & important.

Anya is fantastic. She is so talented, and authentically interested in you, your history and she works so hard to see you grow. She’s so easy to talk to, and with her broad experience she already knows so much about you just after hearing a few stories. She gets my highest recommendations.

fter being hesitant to seek counselling, I took the leap and contacted Anya. From point of contact, Anya was extremely professional and made me feel confident that I was taking the right steps. In my first session, Anya made me feel comfortable immediately. I was able to speak with her and feel like I wasn’t being judged and that she genuinely cared about myself and my situation. I absolutely recommend Intimate Matters.
