Miss Irina Gorkova

Psychotherapist (Gestalt)

I am an experienced Gestalt therapist & supervisor. My method is progressive, personality-oriented therapy. I help people understand the essence of problems and deal with them, improving their relationships and quality of life. It is impossible to live happily when you are in constant anxiety, we will find resources.

About Me

Constant anxiety can make daily life feel overwhelming. As an experienced Gestalt psychotherapist, I offer a progressive, personality-oriented approach. We will work together to uncover the essence of your challenges. Our aim is to help you find practical resources within yourself. This will improve your relationships and enhance your overall quality of life.

Approach

Together we track how anxiety shows up in your body, choices and relationships, then experiment with small, concrete shifts in session so you can test what feels different. Sessions in Poznań or online, in Polish or Russian, move at a steady, collaborative pace—sometimes focused and problem-solving, sometimes exploratory—and I often suggest short, practical exercises between meetings to build confidence. This way of working suits people facing life transitions, relocation or career pressures who want clear, embodied steps toward calmer daily living.
