Hi!

I’m Ksenia, a counseling psychologist. I run my private therapy practice and also consult businesses / individuals on work-related matters based on my corporate background.

Evidence-based psychological approaches I specialize in:

  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), third wave of CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy)
  • SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy)

I love science and I’m constantly updating myself with the latest research in the fields of psychology, neurophysiology and psychiatry.

Therapy themes:

I help people who are experiencing the following states:

  • burnout
  • prolonged stress
  • adaptation in immigration
  • relationship problems
  • challenges at work
  • emotional fluctuations
  • tension in the body
  • increased anxiety
  • lack of meaning

Are any of the statements below part of your inner dialogue?

  • I have no desires
  • I don’t have energy for things
  • I’m not good enough
  • I don’t feel anything
  • My emotions are overwhelming
  • I will never be in a healthy relationship
  • I don’t feel seen / heard / understood
  • I can’t stop procrastinating

If these or other challenges prevent you from living your life as fully as you wish you could – I’m here to help you and work on it together.

Therapy is about quality of life

In the process of therapy, we will look at what’s happening to you right now. But we’ll also look into the past. So much in life happens outside of one’s control and the psyche adapts to survive in certain circumstances.  

Imho, going to therapy is far from being easy (even though it’s a safe and supportive space), but it’s very brave! Getting to know yourself. Identifying one’s values. Trusting one’s emotions and feelings. Grieving about what’s important to grieve about. Finding resilience. Valuing one’s body. Thriving in supportive relationships… and so much more!

And yes, you deserve it too.

BUSINESS AND Career CONSULTING

Work-related themes I work with:

  • career pivots
  • overcoming creative blocks
  • restoring lost meaning at work
  • people management, leadership
  • healthy teams
  • adapting in immigration
  • entrepreneurship

Why career consulting?

Professional dissatisfaction negatively influences other spheres of life and, of course, physical and psychological health. And it’s equally impactful for leaders, hired professionals and freelancers.

However, to pivot or make a lasting change it’s paramount to start with clarifying one’s goals, values and current life priorities. And business psychology and coaching tools are very effective here. Everyone deserves meaningful work!

Business background

As a business consultant and a career coach, I leverage upon years of experience as a manager at Google, as well as use the lessons learnt from working for small / medium-sized businesses and being a team captain in sports. 

I work with a diverse range of professionals: freelancers, team managers and leaders, people of various corporate roles, IT specialists, creatives and others. 

I work according to the standards of ICF (International Coaching Federation) and was certified by Erickson Coaching International.

Ethics

Sessions with me are a safe space without discrimination of any form. My work is about respect and confidentiality. 

I specialize in working with adults 18+. I’m using the ICF Ethics Code (ENG) for career consulting as well as therapeutic EAGT Ethics Code (ENG) and Ethics Code (RU) of the Psychology and Psychotherapy Ethics Committee as a base for my practice.

If additional pharmaceutical support is the best solution for my clients, I collaborate with their doctor (or provide contacts of trusted colleagues) to ensure my clients get the best psychological help possible.

For my own professional development and support, I’m attending supervision sessions, intervisions with colleagues and I study continuously. I’m also on my own long-term personal therapy journey.

About Me

Helping professions is not my first career path. However, working with people has always been the most important and the most interesting part of what I’ve been doing. 

I’ve pivoted from corporate team management to running my private practice. The shift was not easy, but now I can help others make the transition effectively. Also, it was worth it – I’m in my place now and I’m doing what’s most important and interesting to me!

It happened so that I’ve been living and working both in Western and Eastern Europe. Thus in both therapy and coaching I work with expats a lot, as I know what it’s like to move countries, integrate into another culture and gradually build your life in a new place.
