About Me
Hello my dears,
I am Yuliya, a Clinical Psychologist (M.Sc.), dedicated to helping adults and individuals in transition phases, including expats and those feeling stuck or out of place.
My journey began in Ukraine, where I was born and partially raised, before moving to Germany, where I spent the rest of my childhood and early adulthood. I completed my degree in Clinical Psychology there, gaining international experience through stays in the USA, Taiwan, Spain, and Portugal. These diverse experiences have deepened my understanding of various psychological approaches, methods, cultural norms, and nuances, allowing me to appreciate the unique backgrounds of my clients and integrate them into our work together.
I believe it’s essential to consider not just the individual but also the broader context: their personal history, social and family networks, and the internal patterns shaped in response to them. My goal is to help you explore the significance and meaning behind these influences, so you can better understand yourself and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
My Services
I’m here to work with you, offering following counselling services and support to help you navigate life’s challenges.
My promises
Confidential
Up-to-date
Analytical & systemic
Client- & need centered
Everything you share in our sessions is legally protected by professional confidentiality, remaining strictly confidential.
I am committed to ongoing training and continuously educating myself to stay current in my field and enhance my skill set.
We'll explore the root causes and the connections between your thoughts, emotions, body, and social context to better understand!
We’ll focus on your unique needs, with an emphasis on empathy and supporting you in finding the best path forward.
Solution-oriented
Our work will be focused on finding practical solutions and taking actionable steps towards the changes you seek..
Resourceful
We'll tap into your strengths and resources to help you face challenges and move forward with confidence.
Confrontative
I’ll challenge you when needed, in a way that’s supportive, to help you confront tough realities and yourself.
Explorative & Experimental
We’ll explore new and creative ways to tackle your specific challenges, trying out different approaches to see what works best for you.
Specializing in Relationships, Depression, Anxiety and Loneliness
Relationship
I help couples navigate conflicts and transitions using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Nonviolent Communication. Together, we learn to express deep emotions and needs constructively. I also support individuals after a breakup—processing pain, reflecting on patterns, and rebuilding confidence. For those ready to date, I offer tools to clarify relationship goals, address anxieties, and develop healthy communication.
Loneliness
Loneliness often arises when we lose connection—both with others and ourselves. Fear of rejection can make us hide parts of who we are, intensifying isolation and making vulnerability harder. In our sessions, we’ll explore your true self, uncover hidden parts shaped by shame or fear, and help you express your authenticity in a healthy, empowering way.
Depression
Depression often hides suppressed emotions and unmet needs—like helplessness, anger, or loneliness. When pushed down too long, these feelings can surface as apathy, low motivation, and a loss of joy. Together, we’ll uncover what’s behind these emotions and develop healthy ways to express them—especially anger—so you can reclaim your sense of control and agency, and pursue what you truly want and need.
Parenting support
Together, we explore your child's emotions and needs, manage conflicts, navigate transitions, and find a parenting style that truly fits. We’ll develop effective boundaries, fun ways to motivate your child—even with chores—and techniques for handling tantrums. With an emphasis on joyful communication and deep connection, I support you in building a confident, warm, and playful approach to parenting.
Anxiety & fears
We explore the deeper, protective roles of anxiety and fear to uncover new possibilities for growth. Through a gentle hypno-systemic approach, we connect your conscious and subconscious mind, revealing fresh perspectives and solutions. By combining inner imagery, somatic awareness, and systemic insights, we reduce the hold of anxiety and fear, making room for calm, courage, and trust in your ability to face life’s challenges.
Stress & Burn-out
I’ll help you navigate stress by identifying its root causes and reactivating your inner and outer resources. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory and other somatic approaches, we’ll reduce signs of stress and burnout, guiding you toward a balanced, more regulated emotional state and building greater resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

-
In what language can I have an appointment with you?I am fluent in German, Russian and English, so either of these languages!
-
Do you prescribe medication?No, as a psychologist, I provide counselling and psychological support but do not prescribe medication. If needed, I can refer you to a psychiatrist.
-
How many sessions will I need?This varies for each person. Some benefit from a few sessions to solve a specific issue, while others prefer ongoing support. This is something that depends on your needs, goals and challenges! Usually, we will check in every couple of sessions to assess our progress and determine how many more sessions may be needed for clarity and to stay on track.
-
How do online counselling sessions work?Online counselling works much like in-person, except it takes place via secure video calls. Once you book a session, you’ll receive a private link to join at the scheduled time. To get the most out of the session, find a quiet, private place where you feel comfortable. Using headphones can also help improve focus and confidentiality. If you ever have technical difficulties, I’ll be flexible in rescheduling if needed!
-
What is your cancellation policy?Sessions can be rescheduled or canceled within a 24-hour notice. Cancellations with less notice may be subject to a fee, though exceptions can be made in case of unforeseen circumstances (like sickness, accidents, etc.).
-
What are the pricing options for the sessions?Individual therapy sessions lasting 50-60 minutes are priced at 85 euros per session. Couples therapy sessions lasting 90-100 minutes are priced at 150 euros per session. Group therapy sessions lasting 90 minutes are priced at 40 euros per session. A sliding scale option is also available for those in need :-) Please leave me a message if it applies to you.
