Mr Oleksii Tkachenko

Psychological Counselor

“I am a professional gestalt psychotherapist who mainly supports people in topics close to myself: comfortable place in organizations, burnout, personal finance, personal boundaries, suppression of aggression,self-choice, and loneliness.”

About Me

If you're navigating burnout, struggling with personal boundaries, or facing loneliness, I offer a warm space to explore these challenges. As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I help you make sense of your current experiences and find your voice. We can also explore personal finance, understand aggression, and help you make clear self-choices. Together, we'll work towards feeling more comfortable in your place within organisations, helping you gain clarity and move forward.

Approach

In therapy, I create a safe and dynamic space where your story meets real-time awareness. Together, we explore how what you experience - body sensations, emotions, thoughts, relationships - interacts with your patterns and choices. I guide you in experimenting with new behaviours and perspectives grounded in present-moment contact, not abstract advice or quick fixes.

Sessions unfold as collaborative inquiries, paced to fit your needs, whether you prefer face-to-face in Kyiv or online anywhere in the world. I work bilingually in English and Ukrainian, attuned to the subtleties of your communication style and cultural context. This approach supports lasting change by integrating insight with practical, embodied shifts.

I specialize in helping professionals, creatives, and anyone navigating overwhelm, burnout, or disconnection - reclaiming autonomy and resilience through awareness, authentic connection, and agency.
