Dilya Yanbaeva

Therapeutic Counselor

I offer support for Russian and English-speaking expats and international couples. Being an expat myself, I know firsthand the stress of moving between countries and cultures. I’m here to provide a safe space where you can slow down and find your ground. Я помогаю русскоязычным и англоязычным экспатам и интернациональным парам. Я сама прошла через эмиграцию и не понаслышке знаю, сколько стресса приносит переезд и адаптация в другой культуре. Я здесь, чтобы создать для вас безопасное пространство, где можно замедлиться и снова обрести почву под ногами.

About Me

Human, woman, mother, daughter, partner, friend, therapist...:-) When I'm not working as a therapist, I enjoy the simple things: good food, listening to a wide range of music (from metal and jazz to current genres), and watching films and series. I'm also genuinely curious about different countries, cultures, art, languages, and what makes people who they are. I love travelling to sunny countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece. I love humour and like to feel cheerful, I think a little laughter can make things easier.

Approach

My approach is warmly relational and open-minded. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols, and you don’t have to navigate the stress alone. Book an online introcall 25 min. No waiting list. I can help with: Relationship issues and sex/love addiction. Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Childhood trauma that still affects your life and choices today. My practice is open to all identities, LGBTQ+ and kinky-affirmative. Мой подход — теплый, человечный и открытый. Я не верю в универсальные протоколы, которые якобы подходят всем. Вам не обязательно справляться с этим стрессом в одиночку. Запишись на онлайн звонок-знакомство 25 мин. Без очереди. Я помогаю в следующих вопросах: Трудности в отношениях, сексуальная и любовная зависимость. Тревога, панические атаки и депрессия. Травматичный детский опыт, который до сих пор влияет на вашу жизнь и выбор. Моя практика открыта для людей всех идентичностей: я ЛГБТИК+ и кинки-френдли терапевт.

Basic Information

My path to therapy is unique. Shaped by my background in science (biology/medicine) and experience within a multinational, cross-cultural corporation, coupled with my own transformative journey through psychotherapy and extensive professional training, I offer a perspective that blends analytical understanding with deep empathy and respect for your individual background. My natural curiosity drives me to truly understand and connect with the people I work with.
