I believe our past does not define us entirely. Every person has all the abilities they need to cope with difficulties and find solutions.

But sometimes we get stuck in a situation, and that is when working with a psychologist helps to see it more broadly.

I once came to therapy myself, wanting to live differently: in line with my values, in relationships that nourish me, and with a better quality of life.

The main thing psychotherapy gives is awareness. When you understand what is happening to you, you have a choice.

My work is grounded in the gestalt approach: we explore how your situations and beliefs affect you in the present moment, and look for new ways of dealing with difficulties.

What matters is not what was made of me, but what I myself have made of what was made of me.

My approach

together

I do not give ready-made solutions and I do not know what is best for you.

In therapy we explore your situation, your feelings and your habitual ways of reacting together, so that you can find your own answers and choose what suits you.

structured

Besides my psychological education, including a 4-year gestalt therapy programme, I have a business degree: accounting and audit, and a master’s in management in Milan.

This helps me approach your request in a structured way: to single out what matters, see patterns and build a clear course of work.

with care

I work with care and respect for your pace, values and life experience. Everything discussed in sessions remains confidential.

I keep developing professionally, continue my own therapy and attend regular supervision.

What I can help you with

Low self-esteem and self-doubt
Perfectionism
Procrastination
Anxiety and depression
Self-discovery and self-fulfillment
Emotional burnout
Relationship issues (with parents, partners, etc.)
Difficulty setting personal boundaries
Confusion about your goals and desires

If your situation is different, get in touch. We can discuss what you’re going through and see how I can help.

What therapy can give you

Understand yourself better

See your habitual reactions and understand what lies behind them.

Rethink the past

Understand how childhood experience affects you today, and find other ways of dealing with it.

Build closer relationships

Learn new ways of relating to other people.

Find inner support

Learn practical self-support skills to stay in touch with yourself in difficult moments.

My task is to help you see your situation more clearly and find new solutions.

Common questions

Will everything I say stay between us?

Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is confidential. The only exception is a situation where there is a direct threat to life.

How does payment work?

Payment is made before the session, by transfer in euros, dollars or tenge. I will send the details once you book.

Can I reschedule or cancel a session?

Yes, free of charge if you let me know at least 24 hours in advance. For later cancellations the session is charged in full.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your request. We usually meet once a week. Sometimes a few sessions are enough, while deeper work takes several months or more. You can end therapy at any time.
