After completing my Master's in Psychological Counselling at the University of Manchester (UK), I explored various therapeutic approaches before choosing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for its structured, non-judgmental, humanistic stance and clear treatment protocols. Following my CBT certification, I discovered Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a specialized form of CBT that became my primary focus. Who I'm typically a good fit for: - If you have something you want to stop doing but can't - from aggressive behavior and suicidal thoughts to excessive shopping and getting lost in social media. I really enjoy working with clients with narcissistic, antisocial, and borderline personality disorders. But not only those: it can be any conditions where there's impulsivity, difficulties with purposeful action, and giving up what isn't good for you. - If you're suffering from PTSD or Complex PTSD. These disorders are my primary professional interest. I run a group program for clients with cPTSD, conduct research, speak at conferences, write posts, and wrote a book about it. I work extensively with such clients, including when PTSD is combined with several other diagnoses (which is usually the case). - If your problems are related to life in emigration. I've been living between different countries since 2014 and understand these difficulties well. I also specialize in stress disorders, including adjustment disorder. - If you work in management positions and are dealing with burnout, high stress levels, decision fatigue, emotions that interfere with making the right decisions, impostor syndrome, and the feeling that there are no breaks in life. I have experience working in IT startups - I understand both the environment and its demands. I like finding realistic solutions with clients, not abstract work-life balance. - If the main problem is emotions - there are too many of them, they're getting out of control, and you don't know how to build a life when it seems that emotions control it more than you do. - I also really enjoy working with questions about finding identity, meaning, what's important in life, and working with feelings of inner emptiness. What I find most rewarding in my job is collaborating with clients to understand how their difficulties function and identifying practical changes we can implement together. I'm passionate about solving life's complex puzzles and finding evidence-based solutions that create meaningful, lasting change.
