Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
- My approach to work involves the use of scientifically based methods and techniques of psychotherapy. Honesty and efficiency in working with clients are very important to me. - Clients always have an access to information about technical features that are used during therapy, at what stage of work we are, and what nuances or difficulties he may encounter in the process of moving towards therapeutic goals. I always openly discuss performance indicators and help in forming realistic expectations from our work. - Complete confidentiality is my priority. All data provided by clients is absolutely confidential. To do this, even during supervision, special encryption protocols are used that allow the client to maintain the "incognito" status. - I provide maximum support to clients in their difficult experiences, help strengthen the skills of self-compassion and emotional self-regulation. - Respect for the personal choice of the client​. The client always decides for himself whether to follow the agreed strategies, or choose a different solution.
