PANIC,

DEPRESSION:

HANDLE IT,

AND MOVE ON...»

Do you feel that your soul is hurting from problems that seem to have no solution, from recurring thoughts and endless anxiety? I know very well that going through this is extremely difficult, sometimes truly unbearable.
I have been working as a Russian-speaking psychologist for many years. A large part of my audience is "our people" who live abroad. I help them cope with difficult conditions, emotions, and feelings.

If you are a visitor of my website, you might be going through a difficult period of your life. You may be suffering from anxiety, panic, or depression.

Quite possibly you have been trying to cope with these problems by yourself, but then you understood that you are running in circles. You are stuck in a mess of recurring thoughts that are going through your mind again and again, leaving you exhausted and without a hope for improvement.

At times like this, people often ask themselves:
What is happening to me? Why?
What can I do to help?
Why is the medicine that I am taking not helping?

Sometimes it is difficult to find answers to these questions, especially when you live in a foreign country and can't express all the nuances of your feelings, thoughts and emotions in another language. The language barrier is not the biggest problem here - there is something much, much deeper, such as numerous differences in culture, mentality, values, and overall frame of mind.

Many of us, when living abroad, experience that weird feeling when we don't quite belong in this new country, although friends and family from our home countries do not understand us either.

For quite a while now I have been working as a psychologist (online and in person) while living abroad - far from the town where I was born, grew up and went to school. During all these years I have gained priceless experience. I have met many people whose understanding of the world and overall limits of perception and consciousness changed after they moved to another country. I understand the way you feel — at some point I felt the same when I was exploring my new life, with all its depth and diversity.

I know from experience that no matter how hard things can get, no matter how overwhelmed one can be when going through a rough time, nevertheless, it is possible to learn how to manage emotions. It is really worth it to take time to understand your inner motives, and maybe change your way of thinking - all that with the help of an experienced professional. As a result, you may find yourself on a path towards tranquility, happiness and joy — a path you have been looking for so long but could not find because you are so busy with everyday tasks. There can be so many of them that we often forget about our inner needs.

I will help you hear and understand yourself. During our dialogue you will be able to realistically see your problem from different angles. You will understand the roots of the problem and will be able to find the best solutions.

What are the clients saying?

Consulting a psychologist remotely (online) has long been the most popular form of work. This page contains real testimonials from my clients from all over the world. Guided by the rules of professional ethics, I let them choose just how open they would like to be. Some of them used a pseudonym, and instead of a photo, each person chose a unique symbol, an image reflecting their inner world.

"For the first time someone helped me to see things in a new light and be honest with myself, to understand what was really bothering me all these years, and why. Thanks to the constant interactive work, it didn't take long for me to make progress. I have a better understanding of myself and my emotions, of what I want..... All of this helped me set goals and find answers coming from within; I learned how to acknowledge my feelings instead of rationalizing!"

...I watched, as if from the outside, as my thoughts were structured, tension went away, anxiety dissipated. Gradually, thanks to Ekaterina, I acquired many useful skills. For example, I learned how to manage my time, how to communicate my thoughts and wishes to others, how to monitor what is happening to me. Now I know how to control my body, I remember to take time for myself and keep a diary, I know how to breathe properly. I learned even more about myself by identifying my personal values which was a very exciting process. Until then, I didn't even know what my values were. Now I have points of reference, benchmarks, goals, and plans.

"...She is easy to communicate with because, being a very tactful person, she never once made me feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, I shared my thoughts and feelings with her with ease, seeing understanding and acceptance on her part..."
