Discover Your Deep Wisdom, and Feel At Ease
In person and online counselling available worldwide - in English, French, and Russian
“Restless dissatisfaction” is how the unenlightened human state was described about 2,500 years ago — how accurate is that! Doesn’t it describe the everyday experience of most of people around us?
Yet, a completely different quality of life is possible for you.
Usually, we are pushed onto the path of self-discovery by tremendous suffering: if we are too comfortable in our lives, there is simply no incentive for change. That was true for me too 20+ years ago — and now I am able to face my second AI-related redundancy in just a year with equanimity and acceptance. I am so grateful to my younger self for her decision and determination. It was more than worth it.
We often can’t change the circumstances, but we definitely can change our attitude, and this radically alters our lived reality.
In every suffering there is at least one hidden gift!
If you feel stuck in repeating patterns of stress, conflict, self-doubt, or automatic reactions, refuse to believe rat race is all that life has to offer, feel there is more than meets the eye but not sure where and how to look for it, you are in the right place. I help people who are tired of surface-level fixes gain deeper insight, emotional steadiness, and a deep understanding of who they truly are, so they barely recognise themselves even if they still live in the same place and their name didn’t change.
Think of it like finally settling into Life as getting deep and cozy in an armchair that truly fits you.
Instead of always feeling on edge, you can begin to feel grounded, supported, and more at home in your Self.
Imagine you no longer have to walk into every hard conversation already bracing yourself. Imagine being able to notice what’s happening in your body, calm your nervous system, and respond with dignity instead of reacting on autopilot. Notice your body unclench when you finally feel understood. That’s the kind of deep change I support.
My approach combines evidence-based psychology with holistic wisdom. Whether you are new to therapy or have already explored meditation, counselling, or other healing modalities, you are welcome here.
If you are looking for a grounded therapist who can hold both the psychological and spiritual aspects of your experience, I offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.

You may still be wondering…
Is this easy?
It is definitely easier than trying to carry everything on your own - as, perhaps, you have been carrying it for years by now.
Does this actually work?
Yes. Scientific research confirms that counselling and psychotherapy are highly effective, demonstrating long-term benefits in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and often outperforming psychiatric medication in preventing relapse. Efficiency is highly optimised when the intervention matches the client’s specific needs and targets the strength of the therapeutic relationship - this is why I offer a free discovery call to check that fit. You have nothing to lose, apart your suffering.
Evidence also shows that counselling in tandem with antidepressants often yields superior results for unyielding or chronic depressive episodes - I can refer you to a medical professional for the medication part of the equation if this is required.
Psychotherapy provides a safe container, self-regulation tools and accountability to help you keep going.
What’s the commitment?
A 50 min session fee is AU$150 (in person / online).
There are no lock-in contracts for individual sessions and only you decide whether or not book the next session, and when. Research on treatment frequency correlation with symptom reduction and clinical recovery is mixed [1]. This means that some patients benefit from just a few sessions while others require months or several years to get to the bottom of their suffering and get better in a sustainable way. However, life is busy and research consistently shows that therapeutic alliance is overall the strongest predictor of recovery. This is why I offer asynchronous support on demand in addition to in-person sessions (below).
Can I do this?
Yes: you do not have to do it perfectly, just start where you are. And there is a deeper secrete: there is actually nothing to do, only to undo, and to be. Counselling helps you become a true flourishing human being. You are not broken: there are just too many layers obscuring and hiding your true Self from your daily awareness.
