Who am I

Russian version →

I am currently training to become a psychological consultant, deepening my knowledge through two parallel programs. I am studying Psychology and Wellbeing Masters degree at the University of Wolverhampton, while also completing a practical training program in Psychological Consultation with Psychodemia.

My professional journey has been diverse and enriching. I began my career as an English language teacher, supporting people in their growth and learning. Later, I transitioned into the IT field, where I spent seven years working in roles ranging from CRO Manager to Product Manager. This experience gave me a deep understanding of human behavior, communication, and the challenges people face in fast-paced professional environments.

Throughout these years, psychology remained a constant personal interest. Over time, that interest evolved into a clear calling — to support others more directly and meaningfully. Today, I bring together my structured professional background and my psychological training to create a thoughtful, empathetic, and grounded consultation space.

Here is an overview of the process that I will take you through during the work we will have together

01
Intro call

During 30 min we will discuss practical and organisational points. I tell you more about myself, learn initial facts & area of the request from you, we see if we like each other.

02
First session

We will work together to understand what could be the most pressing issue that you would like to work on. We would make a plan for us to see what could be done and how.

03
Further sessions

Depending on the issue or issues we will work together for as long as needed. Expect to have some homework and exercises to observe the progress.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is an essential part of our work together. Our conversations remain private, and I do not share information about what we discuss — or even that we are working together — without your permission. The only exception would be situations where I am legally obligated to disclose information.

If we unexpectedly come across each other in public or online, I will not approach or acknowledge you. This is to ensure that your confidentiality is always respected. You are, of course, free to greet me if you wish.

After sessions, I make brief professional notes to help me stay attentive and consistent in our work. These records are securely stored in encrypted digital format and are accessible only to me. You may request to review your notes at any time, and I will share them in a clear and accessible way.

To maintain a high standard of care, I occasionally discuss aspects of my work with trusted professionals such as a supervisor or other qualified specialists. In these situations, all identifying details are carefully removed or altered so that your identity remains fully protected.
