Anastasiia Bondarenko
Psychologist
“I'm a bilingual (Russian, English) psychologist and third-wave CBT therapist, living in Slovenia, and I'm LGBTQ+ friendly. My work extends beyond office walls with phototherapy that helps with body image issues, self-esteem issues, and more. I strive to create a safe, trustworthy, and gentle environment for my clients.”
About Me
As a psychologist and third-wave CBT therapist, I offer a safe, gentle space to explore your experiences. I specialise in helping individuals navigate body image and self-esteem challenges, often using phototherapy to deepen our work. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with a focus on building trust. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients, offering support in both English and Russian for a genuine connection.
Approach
Sessions blend gentle curiosity with practical experiments, moving between talking, mindfulness exercises, and carefully guided phototherapy to surface how you see yourself and your relationships. I work at a calm pace—sometimes slow and reflective, sometimes action-focused—so you can try new ways of responding between meetings and bring concrete moments back to our work. Online or in Koper, I offer support in English and Russian, and many people find this balance helpful when facing body-image, mood, or trauma-related struggles.
