Behandlungsphilosophie

In my work I focus on building trustworthy and stable client-therapist alliance, where one can feel safe and confident to be themselves. Depending on the client’s needs I am flexible to adapt, while maintaining a non-judgemental and compassionate environment. I value knowledge and dedication, and at the same time I trust my intuition and the situation, to guide through the process of therapy.

I work within the framework of gestalt therapy, which is an intersection of a humanistic and existential approaches, meaning that the client is an active and equal participant of the process, whose experiences are unique and deserve individual attention. During the sessions I pay close attention to the body work and integrate mindfulness, breath work, and creative techniques.

I am here to offer psychological counselling with non-clinical issues, among others but not limited to: relationships, stress and burn-out, anxiety, traumatic experiences, personal crisis, self-worth, career-counselling. I offer short crisis interventions, counselling and psychotherapy.

I am happy and honoured to go together with you on a journey of learning more about yourself. A deeper understanding of our own self, the origins of our behaviours and thoughts, frees us and helps making conscious choices.

Kurz über mich

Born in Ukraine I have studied in the UK for 5 years and for 6 years I have been studying and working in Germany, so I have a good understanding of the life of an expat with all its ups and downs. I feel my profession as my calling, and have been passionately following it through my education, continuous professional development and, certainly, my work.

I began my private practice in 2021 in Berlin and online, working with clients of different backgrounds. I deeply appreciate the trust and courage of my clients, it brings joy and hope to my life.

Termine

My therapeutic hour is 50 minutes. The fee per session is 80€. I offer sessions in-person in Berlin and online. I hold therapy in English, Ukrainian and Russian languages.

I do not work with the state health insurance. Some private health insurances reimburse the costs - but this need to be individually checked with your insurance company. I practice under the license Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie.
