EAGT Gestalt therapist and supervisor working online in Russian. I offer supervision for therapists and therapy for adults and couples, with a focus on relationships, anxiety, sexuality and shame.
I am a Gestalt therapist and supervisor based in Tbilisi, Georgia. I have been in private practice since 2017 and work online in Russian with adults, couples and therapists living in different countries.
I am a full member of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy (EAGT). I completed my psychology degree and professional training in Gestalt therapy, followed by further training in couples therapy, body-oriented work and supervision. I completed my supervisor training at the Tbilisi Gestalt Institute and continue regular hypervision of my supervisory practice.
As a supervisor, I work with therapists who see individual clients, couples and groups. We can examine a particular case, difficulties in the therapeutic relationship, the therapist’s reactions, questions of boundaries and responsibility, therapeutic strategy, or situations where the work seems to have reached an impasse. I am interested in what is actually happening between therapist and client and in helping the therapist distinguish their own experience, the client’s process and what emerges in their contact.
In my therapy practice, I mainly work with relationships and anxiety: intimacy and distance, desire, sexuality, shame, boundaries, dependence on others, and difficulties making choices. My work is grounded in an existential-phenomenological understanding of Gestalt therapy.
I work within an existential-phenomenological Gestalt approach. In sessions, I pay attention to present experience, bodily responses and to what happens in the relationship between us. Rather than applying a predetermined interpretation, I explore with the person how their familiar ways of relating, choosing and protecting themselves appear in the actual situation.
My style is active and direct. I ask questions, share observations and draw attention to contradictions or patterns when I notice them. At the same time, I do not decide for a client what they should feel, want or choose.
In supervision, I use the same phenomenological attitude while keeping the professional task in focus. We look closely at the clinical situation, the therapeutic relationship and the therapist’s experience. Depending on the request, we may work with case formulation, contact processes, interventions, boundaries, ethics, countertransference and the therapist’s position in the work.
I see supervision as a place where a therapist can think clinically without having to demonstrate competence. My aim is to increase clarity about what is happening in the work and expand the therapist’s ability to choose how to respond.
