We will consider your physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. For instance, have you considered using essential oils to make yourself feel calmer and more in control?

Approach to Counselling & How I Work
I am an integrative holistic therapist offering my service in English and Russian.
In human language, it means I am applying multiple schools of thought in psychology. Whatever you seem to benefit from most right now.
Main speciality at the moment is psychodynamic (good old Dr Freud and others looking into how your past is shaping your present) and humanistic (gentle and patient C. Roger's and others believing in your human capacity of self-direction and actualisation).
I have a particular interest in supporting therapy with aromatherapy i.e. aromapsychology.
I am also trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), which is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how language, thoughts, and behaviour are interconnected. NLP helps clients achieve desired outcomes by changing their thoughts, language, and behaviour.
Finally, I give a lot of attention to making my approach holistic. You are a whole being with physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs. Just talking is not always enough to access the core of your struggles. A lot of attention is given to your body and psychical state as a valuable instrument to help with healing.
Overall, this comprehensive approach ensures that you receive personalised care, focusing on what benefits you the most at this moment.
