Mariia Karpenko

I’m a psychologist and a breathwork facilitator, with a MSc in Psychology and a MSc in Learning & Development in Organizations - combining experience in psychology with experience in corporate environments. I’ve lived and studied in Ukraine, the UAE, and the Netherlands, and I bring this international perspective into my practice - moving around and working in different settings shaped my understanding of stress, growth, and change in expat professionals. I believe that therapy is a valuable tool to help you understand yourself better and improve the quality of your life. My goal is to support you, working together to fulfill your needs and goals, break negative patterns, and find new meanings. Another tool I use in my work is breathwork - sessions of active breathing to rhythmic music, guided and written for you by me. These sessions aim to help you release tension from the body, reduce stress, and restore balance in both body and mind. Aside from my work, I enjoy singing, reading fantasy and science fiction books, experimenting with cooking recipes and chatting up my friends' cats. I offer a free consultation so we can see what working together might look like.
