Wondering where home is when nowhere feels permanent.
You don’t have to justify why this feels hard.
Anyone would find this challenging.
A bit about me
Hello, I am Maryna.
Before becoming a counselor, I was a lawyer building my own life in another country. I know what it’s like to adapt to a new culture, build a career from scratch, and look successful while quietly wondering where you belong. Driven by a desire to better understand how people cope with change, I went on to earn a Master’s degree in Psychology and spent several years studying evidence-based therapeutic approaches in depth.
These experiences continue to shape the way I work with my clients today. Today, I help English-speaking adults make sense of what they’re experiencing and navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Focus areas:
Does This Sound Familiar?
If you recognize yourself in any of these thoughts or experiences, you’re not alone
“I can’t switch my mind off”.
“I am constantly thinking about the same thoughts.”
“I’m going through a personal or professional crossroads.”
“I’m exhausted, but I can’t seem to relax.”
“I feel stuck, as if my life is on hold.”
I feel lost, even though everything looks fine on the outside.
“I don’t understand why I react the way I do.”
“I’ve lost confidence in myself.”
“Why do my relationships always end the same way?”
“I’m struggling with grief or a significant loss.”
“I feel disconnected from my body.”
I don’t enjoy the things I used to.”
Sometimes, having a safe place to pause, reflect, and be truly heard is where meaningful change begins.
When you need help from another specialist
Psychosocial support can be helpful for many emotional problems. However, in some situations, an assessment or treatment by a psychiatrist or another medical specialist is required
These include:
- Psychiatric assessment and diagnosis
- An active suicidal crisis or an immediate risk of self-harm
- Drug or alcohol addiction requiring specialist treatment
- Mental health conditions requiring ongoing psychiatric supervision
I Am Not Able to provide the above-mentioned Treatments.
If I consider that another type of support is better suited to your needs, I will explain my recommendations and help you find the most appropriate specialist or service. My main aim is to ensure that you receive exactly the help you need.
My Approach & Methods
Every person is different. Rather than following a fixed method, I adapt my approach to your goals, pace, and needs. Depending on what would be most helpful, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic and Trauma-informed Approaches, Gestalt-informed counselling, Body-oriented approaches, Mindfulness, and creative Art methods.
Ready to Get Started?
If you’re ready to begin, I’d be happy to support you
20 minutes, no obligation
We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to counselling, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels right.
We’ll explore what’s bringing you here, begin to understand your situation, and discuss what you hope to gain from counselling.
Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on your needs, goals, and circumstances.
Over time, many people begin to understand themselves more clearly, feel more confident in handling life’s challenges, and no longer need the same level of support. We’ll regularly review your progress together and decide when you’re ready to continue on your own.
