Адриатика

I provide mental health counseling services to adults who are struggling to resolve psychological difficulties on their own — to clients who want to overcome internal barriers and to discover, preserve, and strengthen their resources, their inner treasures. The aim is to help them regain access to a full and reliably satisfying life, and to enhance their capacity to live out their values and aspirations over the long term.

I help clients cope with:

- Anxiety
- Depression
- Addictive behavior
- Psychosomatic symptoms
- Emotional difficulties, heightened irritability, and aggression
- A lack of social skills, low self-esteem, low motivation, and burnout

Gestalt therapy remains my primary approach.
I am also keenly exploring cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and frequently incorporate it into my practice.
I have completed a course in addiction treatment and continue to hone my skills in this area.
I am completing a psychiatry course designed for Gestalt practitioners.
I am a qualified end-of-life and grief doula.
Key issues I work with:
- life in emigration and associated losses, crises, and adaptation
- emotional burnout, identity crisis, professional burnout
- addiction, co-addiction
- fear of aging, re-evaluation of values, age-related changes and losses
- death of loved ones, fear of death
- PTSD, anxiety

Practising Psychologist, medical background.

I work with the consequences of trauma, loss, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD, CPTSD), depression and anxiety. My clients are adults who may feel a sense of emptiness, loss of meaning, chronic fatigue, or difficulty managing everyday life.

I use a psychodynamic approach and Emotional-Imagery Therapy (EIT), integrating knowledge from neuroscience and selected CBT techniques. This approach helps to understand internal processes more deeply, process difficult emotions, and gradually restore inner stability and resilience.

My first degree is in medicine, which allows me to consider the connection between mind and body, recognise subtle manifestations of stress, and structure therapy to be both gentle and effective.

In therapy, I provide a safe space where it is possible to be honest with oneself, explore emotions, and discover new ways of coping with challenges. The work supports clients in regaining clarity, everyday energy, and a sense of inner steadiness.

I provide couples and individual therapy.

If you have feelings of inferiority, shame, guilt, fears, loneliness
and anxiety or if you are dealing with revaluation of meanings and
values when one "can't go on the old way, but doesn't know a new way
yet", this is the place, where you can get your much needed support.
I help my clients to regain their self-belief, resilience, setting
personal boundaries, and come along when going through crises due to
various complex life events (change of career, divorce, relocation,
betrayal, loss of someone or something, etc.). I adhere to principles
of equality and I do not blame, judge or make any assumptions for the
client. No judgement of clients' choices and views regardless of their
race, nationality, sex, sexual identity, faith and social status.
I worked in addiction centers (alcohol, drugs and gambling), community
funds for parents of children with special needs, and in state
fertility programs.
I will be more than happy to offer my knowledge and experience.

If you: - Find it hard to motivate yourself to do things for yourself - Are constantly battling perfectionism, self-blame, and self-criticism - Are tired of always repeating the same patterns - Need help with navigating relationships or help exiting a difficult relationship - Want support with anything else in your life that's hard for you, It would be my genuine pleasure to help you. My main goal as a counselor is to help you find a way through the process of changing your life. I will listen without judgement, help you see the situation clearly, and together we will find your inner strength, even if you've forgotten where it's hiding. You might not believe in yourself, but I will believe in you.

I have a particular interest in our relationship with technology. If you're tired of doomscrolling and dislike the place social media takes up in your life, but throwing away your devices and running away to the woods isn't an option, I'll help you find balance in that part of your life.

Integrative Counseling Psychologist.
You can reach out to me if you are struggling with:

- Strong feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or anxiety
- PTSD, panic attacks, phobias, intrusive thoughts
- Insecurity, shyness, feeling like "something is wrong with me," and rejection of yourself or your body
- Imposter syndrome, self-criticism, and perfectionism
- Separation from parents, codependency, and relationship crises
- Breakup and loss (inability to let go, constantly thinking of the past, blaming yourself)

In my practice, I combine talk therapy with body-oriented and imagery techniques (including the IMTT method). I would be glad to help you release the pain, accept yourself, build strong relationships, and let go of past traumas.
