About Me

When facing life's overwhelming changes or crises, I offer individuals and couples a confidential space. As a Counseling Psychologist and Certified Coach, I help you explore unique challenges and find clarity. We can work together to make sense of your experiences and build practical strategies for personal and professional growth. My support is available in Ukrainian, Russian, or English, ensuring a comfortable environment for your journey forward.

Approach

Facing overwhelming change often leads us to slow the pace and map what feels most urgent, then gently test small shifts in how you show up. In Kharkiv or online, in Ukrainian, Russian or English, sessions blend focused listening with short experiments, practical framing and occasional between-session steps to track stress, relationships and relocation decisions. You can expect direct, collaborative pacing—sometimes reflective, sometimes action-oriented—tailored to your immediate needs. This approach suits adults and couples seeking clear movement through crisis and transitions.
