We would like to thank the project and personally psychologist Roksolana Malyi for working with our teen. The sessions were very informative, making many things clearer to us and to our kid. We liked the informal approach: no pressure, calm and trusting atmosphere. The psychologist found a common language with our child, and it worked! We really appreciate the support and attention.

I want to share my experience of therapy with the wonderful psychologist Diana Kostenko. I had 10 sessions and can say with confidence that this period has been an important stage in my personal growth. I immediately felt support, understanding and a warm atmosphere of trust. My requests were listened to carefully and handled with great care and professionalism. Diana has a keen sense of people’s emotional state, asks the right questions and helps you see the situation from a new angle. After each meeting, I left with a sense of inner relief and new thoughts to ponder.

 

I am sincerely grateful for the care, deep empathy and effective support! I want to recommend Diana Kostenko to anyone looking for a specialist who is not only able to listen, but also to help you work through important life issues in a truly effective way.

I am sincerely grateful to the Confidence project and personally psychologist Halyna Mazur for support during a difficult time for me and my family. I turned to them for help after losing my husband. I would like to recognise Ms Halyna Mazur as a professional, tactful, and attentive specialist. She is also a wise, sincere and experienced person who inspires trust and a desire to communicate and open up. Moreover, Ms Halyna uses a variety of professional techniques that allow her to quickly bring a problem to the surface and work through it.

I wish the project and Halyna success in their important work!

They helped me a lot! Everything was even better than I expected.

Webinar: Ensuring the right to education for all children

If a school violates a child’s rights, legal factors should be involved, rather than psychological or medical. This is a matter of realising the right, and it makes no sense to fill the gap in law enforcement with psychological and pedagogical mechanisms. Cognitive activity plays a crucial role in the development of any child, which is realised through education.
We invite parents and family members of people with disabilities; people with disabilities; specialists, volunteers of social projects to the 4th meeting with Larysa Tatarinova, a master of social work, deputy director of the Solomianskyi district social services centre in Kyiv, a member of the board of the NGO “League of Social Workers of Kyiv”, human rights activist, lawyer.
