About me

Some people come when life starts to feel overwhelming — when stress, uncertainty, or emotional fatigue become difficult to carry alone. Others reach out when conflicts repeat in their relationship, conversations become difficult, or partners begin to feel increasingly distant from each other. In our work together, we take time to slow things down and explore what is happening beneath the surface — in personal experience, in communication, and in the patterns that shape relationships. With 9 years of experience in Gestalt therapy, an Advanced Diploma in Relational Psychotherapy (NAOS Institute, London), and a previous career in management consulting (Bain & Company), I offer a calm and structured space to reflect, understand what is unfolding, and consider what might need to change. I work online in English, French, and Russian with clients across Europe and the USA. I adhere to the ethical standards of EAGT and COSRT UK.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
I work in a calm, grounded, and relational way, based on Gestalt therapy. We focus on what you feel, how you relate, and what happens in the session. The first session is usually a space to understand your situation and see whether working together feels helpful. I often work with international clients and couples from different cultural backgrounds.
