Olga Zubova

As an existential therapist, I work in accordance with the principles of existential psychotherapy, observing the code of ethics and confidentiality rules. The therapy process is based on a phenomenological therapeutic position. In my work, I strive to get to know and understand the client's world, taking into account various life contexts. One of the main aspects of the therapeutic process is getting to know each other and building a mutually safe and trusting relationship. In therapy, it is important for me to be with the client in their experiences, rather than trying to solve and do something right away. Initially, it is important to allow everything that disturbs the client to be there, and I try to learn and understand it, so presence is very important here. I don't give advice or recommend how to act in a given situation, but it is important for me to explore the possibilities and limitations of various life challenges together with the client. I try to be present as an unknowing but very attentive and compassionate person. It is also important for me to pay attention to how a person shows their way of "being" in this world and how it manifests itself in our shared space and relationships.
