Maryna Zagorodnia

Counselor

Seeking help can be a difficult decision, but by being here, you've already taken that important first step. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your challenges and work towards a more meaningful and happy life.

About Me

As an accredited Gestalt therapist, I invite you to deepen your self-understanding in our sessions. We can compassionately explore your present experiences, making sense of patterns that might be holding you back. This approach helps you discover new ways to respond to challenges, fostering genuine self-awareness. If you seek to connect more fully with yourself, our work can guide you towards a clearer, more authentic life.

Approach

Entering therapy often brings relief; sessions fold attention into your present experience with gentle curiosity and grounded clarity. I offer online and London-based sessions in English, Russian or Ukrainian, where the pace is set by you and we attend to body sensations, relational patterns and images that arise in dreams. Work is practical and experiential—brief in-session experiments, mindful noticing and small reflective practices between meetings—to help you discover different responses to stress, control struggles or relationship strains. People facing life changes, relocation or burnout often find this steadying.
