Elena Tiulenev

One of my main focuses as a therapist is creating a space where you can feel safe. Our contact and relationship is the fundament for that. I believe that, if you feel seen and heard - you have the experience to be taken seriously and thus learn to take seriously yourself. That paves the way for you to feel better, to thrive and live your life, and not just survive and live in pain and despair. My role is to guide you in the process of creating the change you want, holding your hand while you are on this journey - whether alone, with your partner or with your family. The fundament of my work is - presence and human contact here and now, humbleness and equal dignity, authentic and curious dialog. You are the expert of your life - I am only a humble witness. Ethics and continuous professional development are important for me. In that regard I am a member of the Danish Psychotherapeutic Association as a guarantee for the quality of my education and I follow their guidlines for ethical requirements needed for working as a therapist. My professional background is a combination of social work, relational work, pedagogy and psychotherapy.

In 2000 I met my husband and in 2003 we moved to Italy. After living in Parma for 12 years, we moved to Danmark in 2015. I have a 14 years old son. The red thread throughout my life has been: - being an expat and moving around, integrating different cultures and values. I know the conflict of being in between two cultures, the feeling of belonging and not belonging at the same time - struggling to adapt and missing home (which in the meanwhile doesn't feel like home anymore) - loss and longing has been and is a part of my family's life. - working with vulnerable people (ranging from abuse - addictions - trauma - trafficking).
