“For me, psychology is not about a profession, it’s about a way of life”
I work with:
– adults (including parents, caregivers, educators, professionals)
– young people
– teenagers
My path to psychology was quite long but interesting. While still a health worker, I realised that treating the body without taking care of the soul and mind is futile. This understanding grew stronger over the years. Eventually I majored in Psychology and successfully defended my coveted Master’s degree in Psychology and received a university teacher diploma. I am also an alumnus of the postgraduate Ukrainian-American programme “Psychological Counselling” of the International Institute of Postgraduate Education (Ukraine) and Regent University (USA), specialisation “Trauma Therapy” and internship “Family Counselling”.
Now I am completing a 5-year children’s project from the USP to broaden my understanding of deep processes that occur with children and parents.
In my work, I use positive psychotherapy, Gestalt and schema therapy, cognitive behavioural and cognitive-processing therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), mindfulness, and EMDR techniques. I prefer a multimodal approach.
The main topics I work with include:
– anxiety, fear in adults and adolescents;
– processing of traumatic experiences (EMDR);
– couple relationships; parent-child relationships;
– self-identification and work with self-esteem (who am I and what are my desires?)
I help with the following requests:
– anxiety, apathy, depression; panic attacks in adults and adolescents;
– emotional and physical fatigue;
– processing of traumatic experiences, physical and emotional abuse (EMDR);
– crisis situations;
– stress reactions;
– interpersonal and internal conflicts, including relations in couples and between parents and children;
– self-identification and self-esteem (who am I and what are my desires?).
My family helps me keep myself in a resourceful and emotionally stable state: my beloved husband, my best children, my dear mother, my sisters, brothers, and nephews. And also, friends. And personal therapy.
