Mgr Polina Udodenko

Psychologist

“Online therapy and counseling | Ukrainian therapist | LGBT+ friendly | English, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian”

About Me

I help you explore challenges and find clarity in a way that feels safe and supportive. I offer sessions in English, Ukrainian, Polish, or Russian, so you can speak in the language that feels most natural to you. I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and create a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients.

Approach

My work focuses on helping you understand what matters to you and take practical steps toward feeling more stable and connected. I use an analytical approach and draw on TF-CBT principles, integrating elements of existential therapy, with a focus on meaning, personal values, and individual experience. Confidentiality and an individual approach are core principles of my work.
