Individual counseling — when relationships hurt, anxiety won't ease, the past keeps returning, or big life changes leave you without support.
You can begin
without a clear agenda
Where to start
You don't need a tidy, "correct" reason for coming. You can arrive with a feeling: "something is wrong, but I can't yet say what."
In the first sessions we can put words to what you're going through and decide what to work on.
Reasons people come
When a relationship no longer feels like a source of support.
When it's hard to feel calm or settled.
When a difficult event is over but still shapes your life.
When family roles make it hard to see each other and keep boundaries.
When it's hard to rely on yourself and know what you actually want.
Anxiety, anger, guilt, confusion, or tears are not feelings to push away. In sessions we can listen to what they are telling you and gradually find other ways to be with yourself and with others.
About me
I am a psychologist and gestalt therapist. I combine professional training, attention to feelings and bodily responses, and genuine human contact. I receive regular supervision and am in my own therapy.
How I work
In sessions we can explore what lies behind familiar reactions, how past experience affects the present, and what other ways of relating to yourself and others become possible.
We decide the focus and pace together — without one-size-fits-all formulas or judgment.
Attention to thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses helps you see the situation as a whole.
Confidentiality, clear agreements, and respect for your experience.
Graduate training in psychology, regular supervision, continuing education, and my own therapy.
Education and training
Higher education, professional retraining, and additional training.
Session format
Primary format
Also Work with adolescents from age 14 is possible — with consent from a parent or legal representative.
Scope of practice
Psychological counseling is not a medical service, does not include diagnosis, and does not replace medical treatment of mental health conditions. If your situation calls for medical or other specialized help, please contact the appropriate professional promptly.
Ongoing violence and immediate danger require physical safety first and contact with emergency or specialized services. This is not a crisis or emergency service.
Before the first session
No. You can come because things feel hard, even if you cannot yet put them into words. In the first sessions we can clarify what is going on and decide together what to focus on.
You can talk about your situation at your own pace, ask questions, and discuss how we might continue. The first session is also a chance to see whether we are a good fit.
There is no fixed number of sessions for everyone. It depends on your situation, what you want to focus on, and what we agree together.
Yes. Sessions are online or in person. One session lasts 55 minutes and costs 8,000 ₽.
Yes. I work individually with adolescents from age 14 — with consent from a parent or legal representative.
First contact
You don't need to tell your whole story in detail. It's enough to say that you're considering counseling and share how you'd like me to reach you.
I will reply and suggest a time for a first session. After you submit the form, you can open the messenger you selected.
