Mr Oleksii Tkachenko
Psychological Counselor

About Me
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.
