In everyday terms, people often come to therapy when they experience something like this:
- low mood, loss of interest, or feeling that nothing brings pleasure anymore;
- constant worry that something terrible might happen in different areas of life;
- intrusive unwanted thoughts that feel frightening or shameful, for example thoughts about harming yourself or others, or unwanted sexual thoughts;
- repeated checking, such as checking the gas, doors, sockets, or washing too often and for too long;
- feeling that something is wrong with a part of the body, even when other people do not notice anything unusual;
- fear of social situations, public speaking, eating in public, or losing control of your body in public;
- panic attacks: a racing heart, shortness of breath, fear that it will happen again, fear of fainting, or fear of leaving home without someone’s support;
- fear of flying;
- specific fears, such as dogs, spiders, heights, or blood;
- sleep problems;
- fear of having a serious illness, frequent doctor visits, and spending a lot of money on tests and examinations;
- a traumatic event, such as an accident or assault, followed by fear of reminders, irritability, nightmares, or loss of joy;
- constantly demanding too much from yourself and feeling exhausted;
- putting off important things even when they matter to you.
On average, therapy may take from 5 to 40 sessions. Work focused on symptoms and improving your current condition usually takes around 20 sessions.
The exact duration depends on the severity and how long the problem has been present. It may be shorter or longer.
At some point, you can decide whether you would like to go deeper into childhood experiences and long-standing patterns.

At the moment, I work online only. Sessions can take place via Zoom, Google Meet, or another messenger that is convenient for you.
Sessions usually take place once a week at a fixed time. One session lasts 55 minutes.
My current working hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 9:00 to 15:00 Moscow time.
There are currently available time slots. Please leave your Telegram contact in the booking form, and I will send you the available options.
My work is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. The main idea of CBT is that emotional distress and psychological difficulties are connected with our thoughts and behavior. This is what we work with in therapy.

My therapy motto Explain more, so we can understand better.
I believe both processes are important: you learn to understand your condition and your difficulties more clearly, and I do my best to understand you better.
See you in therapy.
