Viktoriia Paniotova

Psychologist

“I specialise in working with people of migration, emigration and multicultural background. Here to offer you a safe and compassionate environment to explore your mind and body.”

About Me

Born in Ukraine I have studied in the UK for 5 years and for 10 years I have been studying and working in Germany, so I have a good understanding of the life of an expat with all its ups and downs. I feel my profession as my calling, and have been passionately following it through my education, continuous professional development and, certainly, my work.

Approach

In my work I focus on building trustworthy and stable client-therapist alliance, where one can feel safe and confident to be themselves. Depending on the client’s needs I am flexible to adapt, while maintaining a non-judgemental and compassionate environment. I value knowledge and dedication, and at the same time I trust my intuition and the situation, to guide through the process of therapy. I work within the framework of gestalt therapy, which is an intersection of a humanistic and existential approaches, meaning that the client is an active and equal participant of the process, whose experiences are unique and deserve individual attention. During the sessions I pay close attention to the body work and integrate mindfulness, breath work, and creative techniques.
