Irina Furman

In my work, therapy is like a conversation where we explore together, creating meeting in the moment. But it's not just talking. As we work together, I pay close attention to everything you say, your body language, facial expressions, and even the smallest movements, because all of this helps me understand how do you function in the world. I use these details to support you and guide you toward understanding yourself better. While I bring knowledge of therapy methods and techniques, there's also an element of unpredictability. I rely on a process, responding to what happens during our sessions to create a unique experience just for you, which would help you to change. This way, we can truly focus on what's happening right now, while also understanding how your past affects you today. Therapy with me helps uncover old patterns—thoughts, reactions, and behaviors that may be holding you back. These patterns can be transformed into something new, helping you see situations from a fresh perspective and interact with the world more confidently. Here we also create new meanings for you. I use a Gestalt approach, which focuses on finding the best ways for you to express yourself and break free from old patterns. It’s about becoming more present, more aware, freer and more true to who you are. In our work together, you'll learn how to be yourself in a world that sometimes asks you to be different, without losing your unique identity. Through this process, you can discover how to be your true self, with more confidence, awareness, and freedom to navigate your life in a way that feels right for you.
