About me
I am a Gestalt-based counsellor with a background in psychology and advanced training in Gestalt therapy. As an associate member of ARGIGT (EAGT-affiliated), I work with adults and young people aged 16+, supporting personal growth, emotional wellbeing, and relationship issues.
Professional training includes:
• Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) — TFP-UK & South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (2025–present)
• Gestalt Therapy Practice (2020-2024), St. Petersburg Gestalt Institute (EAGT/EAP affiliated)
EMDR and Work with Trauma in the Gestalt Approach, Moscow Institute of Gestalt (2024)
Intensive Programs at the St. Petersburg and Moscow Institutes of Gestalt (2023)
Summer Program for Gestalt Therapists, Italian Institute of Gestalt (EAGT, EAP) (2022)
The Science and Art of Transformational Coaching, International Erikson Institute (2017)
Degree in Psychology from St. Petersburg State University (2009)
Degree in Social Work from St. Petersburg Institute of Psychology and Social Work (2008)
Additionally, I have over 800 hours of personal Gestalt therapy and supervision, as well as a rich background in Eastern contemplative practices like Kundalini yoga and meditation.
For 13 years, I worked in Russian, European and International companies, supporting organizational transformations as a Chief HR Officer and agent of change in IT companies, and since 2017 as a coach and Gestalt consultant for employees and top management.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Through the Gestalt method, we will work together to resolve painful experiences from the past, experiment with new possibilities in the present, and cultivate the qualities you wish to embody. I have a particular expertise in supporting clients through relocation and other borderline situations and crises, moreover organizational change, drawing on my background as a Chief HR Officer and coach for multinational companies.
Importantly I take a comprehensive, holistic view - attending to the interconnections between your mind, body, and spirit. This ensures that our work addresses the full breadth of your experience, leading to lasting, integrative transformation.
As a trained psychologist, I understand the neurobiological underpinnings of the Gestalt approach. By fostering a deeply empathetic therapeutic relationship and guiding you through experiential exercises, we can promote the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are crucial for regulating mood, motivation, and overall well-being. This can have a profound and lasting impact on your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns, supporting you in achieving your goals.
Reduced-fee slots may be available in specific cases and are discussed during the initial consultation.
