About me
Hi, I'm Polina.
I accompany people through change — through the life phases when the old no longer fits, or simply leaves without asking, and the new still feels unclear or frightening. Through the times when you're exhausted from just functioning and long for a deeper connection to yourself.
I know these in-between spaces well. I grew up moving between places and cultures, and learned early on how to function "correctly." Inwardly, though, I often felt a pull to leave, sensed an inner conflict, and kept searching for myself. Through my own counselling, I discovered how much strength can live in that in-between space, once you learn to meet yourself there with openness and care.
As a psychological counsellor, I see exactly this as my task: helping you build that inner, loving stance, so you can move through change feeling more grounded and secure. I work systemically, using mindful writing techniques that help bring thought spirals, core beliefs, and patterns into view.
With me, you'll find a judgment-free space where you are truly heard and seen — relaxed, warm, and safe.

Approach
My work is systemic and client-centred, following Carl Rogers. That means: you are at the centre, not the methods. For me, every counselling process is a genuine encounter, meeting at eye level.
Our sessions are built on conversation: I listen to you attentively and with an open mind, ask targeted questions, summarise, and reflect back what I hear and sense. I don't judge, and I don't give advice. My aim is to accompany you on your search and your path in a way that lets you recognise, see, feel, and understand things for yourself.
Methods complement this space. I draw on different approaches, chosen to fit what feels right for you – whether that's working with the Inner Team, meditation, or methods that give a voice to your inner parts or to important people in your life.
As a central technique, mindful writing helps us make what's circling in your mind visible: thoughts take shape, feelings get a name, patterns become recognisable – and, in turn, accessible and changeable. During a session, I usually give you a few invitations to write, which you can work through calmly, at your own pace, and which we then discuss in the following session. This mostly leads to small – and sometimes big – moments of insight.
In our fast, overstimulated, and rapidly changing world, it's easy to lose touch with ourselves. What helps is a steady inner core and a stance in which we meet ourselves with dignity and warmth. With every session, I want to help you build and strengthen this stance.
Topics you can bring to me:
- The feeling of running after your own life
- Fears & worries about the future
- Career change & reorientation
- Relocation & arriving in a new environment
- Grief & letting go as part of processes of change
- Racing thoughts, rumination & inner restlessness
- Limiting beliefs & patterns that hold you back
- Self-worth & how you relate to yourself
- Uncertainty about your own needs, wishes & boundaries
Experience
I'm newly qualified, and I've been accompanying clients in individual and group sessions since 2025 – with all my presence and curiosity. What I bring is not only my training, but many years of lived experience in working with people – and the deep wish to be a truly good companion on your path.
Education
I completed my training as a certified Psychological Counsellor at the end of 2025 at the ALH Akademie. In addition, I completed the Spaceholder training at the Akademie für Raum und Wandel, as well as foundations in coaching and systemic communication at the artop Institute.
Before I found my way into counselling, I spent many years working in communications, press, and PR – in a fast-paced, demanding professional world. That experience has certainly broadened my horizons and skills, and has also led me to what I do and who I am today.
