Ms Marina Shukh

Psychotherapist

“When we are helpless and hopeless, and being unable to change the situation - we are ready move, we feel the need to change ourselves to get our freedom. Viktor Frankl”

About Me

Marina Shukh understands that feeling helpless can be a profound catalyst for change. She guides clients to discover inner freedom when external situations feel unchangeable. Through collaborative exploration, she helps individuals uncover new perspectives and internal strengths. Sessions focus on understanding personal meaning, offering a path to move beyond hopelessness. This approach suits those ready to transform their relationship with challenging circumstances and reclaim agency.

Approach

Held in attention to inner choice, I guide gentle shifts in perspective that open practical routes toward greater freedom and meaning. In Kyiv, working with people in France and online, I offer sessions in Russian and Ukrainian that feel steady and contained. Work moves between focused dialogue, dream exploration and simple self-care practices, paced to your readiness and aimed at restoring safety after abuse, stress or relational strain. Those ready to reclaim agency and notice small, steady changes often find this way of working helpful.
