Olga Gabelkova (Olha Habelkova)

My work is based on a systemic approach: I select tools specifically tailored to your individual request to achieve a sustainable result. My style combines in-depth analysis of the root causes of difficulties with the practical benefits of the techniques applied. I am convinced that every person possesses the inner potential to overcome a crisis, and my task is to help activate that potential. In my work, I use tools from several disciplines: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): we conduct detailed work with the mindsets and automatic thoughts that hinder your progress. We learn to recognize cognitive distortions and change habitual yet destructive behavioral patterns that have maintained a state of crisis or insecurity for years. This empowers you to manage your reactions to life events. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): I use techniques for working with internal states and the subjective perception of experience. This allows for the rapid and effective transformation of limiting behavioral strategies into those that lead to success. We align your internal state with the clear implementation of your plans, removing barriers that previously seemed insurmountable. Positive Psychotherapy (PPT): this method helps us shift the focus from the problem to the possibilities. We find your hidden resources and new meanings even in the most difficult and seemingly hopeless situations. Working in this key develops your ability to cope with future life challenges by relying on your personal strengths. Art Therapy: as an art therapist, I use specific projective techniques to work with feelings and emotions that are difficult to express in words or comprehend logically. The use of imagery and creativity allows for a gentle bypass of the psyche's defense mechanisms. This helps find the right solution and a way out of a deadlock where ordinary analysis fails. Our work is aimed at creating your individual, stable system of self-regulation. I help the client not just solve a current problem, but build fundamentally new ways of interacting with themselves and the world around them. These skills and internal supports will remain with them as a reliable tool for an independent life after our work is concluded.
