Miss Svetlana Poletskaya

Psychotherapist

An experienced professional helping couples and individuals find their peace of mind.

About Me

Life's complexities can disrupt inner calm. This experienced psychotherapist guides individuals and couples, helping them find lasting peace of mind. They facilitate a process of exploring underlying patterns together. Clients develop practical strategies to navigate challenges with renewed clarity. Within a confidential, supportive space, you can discover greater understanding and a more balanced path forward.

Approach

When couples or individuals arrive hoping for steadier inner balance, I guide a deliberate, paced process that helps surface recurring patterns and calm strong reactions. Sessions take place online in English or Russian, conversational yet focused, with room for brief check-ins between meetings to keep progress steady. I combine attentive reflection with experiential steps — grounding, careful processing of difficult memories, and small, practical experiments — so insights become usable in daily life. This way of working often fits those wrestling with anxiety, loss or relationship strain who want clear, compassionate structure.
