Kateryna Ignatieva

My work is fundamentally guided by Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. This means we don't just "fix" a behavior; we engage with the unique logic of your unconscious mind. What defines my approach: Lacanian Focus on Language: We pay close attention to the way you speak about your life. Often, the key to a breakthrough lies in the specific words and metaphors you use. Exploring the Unconscious: We look at what lies beneath your conscious choices—the desires, fears, and internal conflicts that drive your actions. The Analytical Setting: I provide a structured, safe environment where you can speak freely (free association), allowing the most important themes of your life to emerge naturally. Why choose this method? While some therapies offer temporary relief, the Lacanian and Freudian approach aims for a structural change. It is about gaining freedom from the invisible patterns that have held you back, allowing you to live a more authentic and desire-driven life.
