Hello, my name is Vlad, I am a Jungian psychoanalyst and a psychoanalytical psychotherapist. I live and work in London. Sometimes I work online. I trained as a child psychotherapist and worked extensively with children. I also completed a training in adult analysis and now run a practice for adults.
In general, people are brought to analysis by a symptom, condition or pain that prevents them from living their life in its fullness. Many of those who contact me have difficulty mastering daily tasks. However, to come to analysis is also not unusual for people whose lives, to an outside observer, look successful.
I see my patients one to five times a week. I indicate this frequency to let you know the potential capacity of your analysis. The frequency is adjusted individually, usually gradually, and can change during therapy depending on needs and the current situation.
I sometimes offer my patients to use a couch. It changes the analysis a lot, and besides, it's just more comfortable. Analysis rarely fits in two or three years and often lasts longer, so in this journey, like on a long-distance train, it’s best to get comfortable.
I charge for missed and cancelled sessions, even if you notify me in advance. I do not charge for meetings that didn’t happen due to my initiative. I may charge different amounts for different people, depending on their financial situation and my availability. So, the fee might be negotiated.
I always emphasize the importance of a gradual ending. However, you retain the right to end your analysis at any time.
If you need to meet me before deciding to work together, we can arrange an initial session or a set of two. The initial session lasts and costs the same as a standard one. The only difference between these two is that after the initial one, I will only expect to see you again if you decide to continue.

PS
I've lived in different places, so I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and I even understand Italian quite well. Feel free to choose any of them for our work.
