There should be text about who I am. Analysts often try to be reserved about themselves to give their patients as much space as possible. Nevertheless, I will still try to tell something.
I have been working as a psychotherapist for the last 15 years. Initially, I studied to become a child psychologist and worked with children and adolescents in Ukraine and Italy. For a long time, my interests have been in trauma and dissociation, as well as in infant observation.
I received training as an adult analyst while living in Kyiv, in an international program of the Association for Analytical Psychology. It was there that my connection with London began, as both of my training supervisors were from London societies: SAP and BJAA. One of my analysts is also from the London’s SAP.
My first professional home in the UK was the Northern Irish Institute of Human Relations. Some time later I joined the Association of Jungian Analysts, whose office is in London.
Before coming to psychoanalysis, I worked with image and storytelling in the creative industry for over ten years, and this work remains of great importance to me.
I am originally from Moldova. I moved to Ukraine in 2009. I have worked quite a lot with children and adults of all ages who have suffered from the war going on in Ukraine since 2014.
In addition to practice, I teach analysis and psychotherapy in Ukraine and Britain.
I see patients privately in Southwark. I offer analysis at a frequency of one to five times per week. Besides English, I speak Ukrainian and Russian.
