Irina Fateeva

My way of working is shaped by a background in scientific research, which naturally brings a sense of structure and analytical depth to our sessions. I look for the patterns and logic beneath the surface, providing a grounded framework where we can safely explore the emotional layers that often feel chaotic or unaddressed. Complementing this, my own experience with immigration gives me a firsthand understanding of the complexities of identity and life transitions. I work extensively with expats and international professionals, supported by advanced training in intercultural therapy. I am familiar with the specific cognitive and emotional weight of navigating new environments and the process of finding where you belong. I often work with intellectually curious and highly self-demanding individuals—those whose minds are constantly evaluating and striving. While a sharp intellect is a vital tool, it can sometimes lead to a disconnect from your emotional life and physical presence. Our work focuses on restoring the balance between the analytical mind and the felt experience. I help you move toward a more integrated life where high internal standards coexist with self-compassion, and your drive for achievement harmonizes with the capacity for genuine vitality and enjoyment.
