Psychologist and counsellor · the Netherlands

I'm a Russian-speaking psychologist and counsellor based in the Netherlands. I provide online psychological counselling in Russian for Russian speakers wherever they live.
I work gently and in a structured way with anxiety, adapting after emigration and relocation, relationships and self-esteem.

Sessions are conducted in Russian.
Where I live and how I work
I live in the Netherlands and have been through relocation and adaptation to life in a new country myself. I work online only, via Google Meet or Zoom, and I do not see clients in person anywhere.
My clients are Russian speakers living in the Netherlands, Germany and other European countries, as well as in Israel and the USA. I work under regular supervision and follow professional ethics and confidentiality.
I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology, and the degree has been officially evaluated in the Netherlands by Nuffic. The evaluation confirms the level of education. It is not a BIG registration or a licence for medical or psychotherapeutic practice: I provide psychological counselling.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer counselling in English?
No. Counselling sessions are conducted in Russian only. The English pages explain who I am and how I work.
Where are you based?
I live in the Netherlands and work online. I do not see clients in person anywhere; all sessions take place via Google Meet or Zoom.
Do you work with clients outside the Netherlands?
Yes. Sessions are online, so I also work with Russian-speaking clients living in Germany and other European countries, Israel and the USA.
How much does a session cost and how long is it?
One session lasts 50 minutes and costs €35. Payment is made before the session by an agreed method.
Are you a BIG-registered or licensed psychologist in the Netherlands?
No. I am a psychologist and counsellor with a bachelor's degree in psychology; the degree has been officially evaluated by Nuffic in the Netherlands. I am not BIG-registered, and my sessions are psychological counselling, not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
What if I am in crisis right now?
If there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, contact the emergency services of the country you are in (112 in the Netherlands and the EU). Counselling does not replace emergency or psychiatric care.
