Learn more about Therapists for Ukraine
Therapists for Ukraine connects people affected by the Russo-Ukrainian war with therapists on It's Complicated who have chosen to offer free psychological support. All people affected by the war are eligible, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Therapists on this list decide the number of free sessions individually, based on your situation and needs.
This is one part of It's Complicated's wider commitment to making therapy accessible independent of someone's economic situation. Since the war began, therapists across the platform's community have opted in to offer cost-free counselling to people whose lives have been disrupted by displacement, loss, or ongoing uncertainty.
This support is for anyone directly affected by the war: people who have been displaced, separated from family, or living with the ongoing strain of conflict and its aftermath, whoever they are and wherever they're from. You don't need a diagnosis or a referral to reach out. If what you're carrying feels heavy, unfamiliar, or hard to name, that's reason enough to speak to someone.
Most of the therapists listed here speak English rather than Ukrainian, though you can filter specifically for Ukrainian-speaking practitioners using the site's search tools.
It's Complicated is not a crisis or emergency service. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number, a crisis line in your country, or see emergency support resources.
Trauma informed care creates a foundation for working through displacement and loss at a pace that feels manageable, without requiring you to revisit distressing detail before you're ready. It's often the starting point for people newer to talking about what they're going through.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) can help when specific memories feel stuck or intrusive, working alongside appropriate medical or psychiatric care rather than replacing it.
Counselling offers a steady, ongoing space to process change, uncertainty, and grief, particularly useful when there isn't one single event to work through but an accumulation of strain.
These approaches sit alongside, not instead of, any medical or psychiatric care you may already be receiving.
It's Complicated is a therapist-founded mental health platform connecting clients with practitioners across Europe and globally, in over 60 languages. The platform itself is free to use, and clients typically arrange rates directly with their chosen practitioner.
For Therapists for Ukraine, a group of practitioners have chosen to work differently: they offer free sessions to people affected by the war, with the number of sessions decided case-by-case between you and the therapist. Sessions usually last 45 to 60 minutes.
Browse the therapists on this page and register on the platform to contact the one who feels right for you. Write to them directly to discuss your situation. If you have questions before reaching out, you can contact It's Complicated's support team.
