About Me

Living in Barcelona, I help individuals explore and navigate a range of complex emotional challenges. For those facing trauma, anxiety, depression, or family difficulties, I provide evidence-based psychotherapy in English and Russian. My approach offers structured support, guiding you to understand your experiences and develop practical ways forward. Clients seeking a clear, proven path to greater well-being will find a supportive space here.

Approach

I blend practical skills with careful reflection so you leave sessions with clearer steps and tools for day-to-day life. Working from Barcelona or online, sessions are steady and paced to your needs—short experiments, in-session skill rehearsal, and gentle review of what shifted. I use assessment, mindful practices and focused cognitive steps to guide us toward calmer routines and clearer relationships, with practical tasks between meetings to consolidate change. Those living with trauma, persistent mood or relational patterns often find this way direct and supportive.
