My History
How I started my journey into psychology:
My interest in psychology began during my school years. I watched everyone around me and with great interest (and sometimes indignation) sought answers to questions regarding the behavior of many people around me.
I have always been able to listen to people in companies, and I noticed with interest how unique and inimitable the life of each person around me is.
I came to psychotherapy when I was 18 years old (due to complex painful sequential events), and my life began to change. I didn’t understand why this was happening and how to continue living.
Over the years of therapy, with the support and reliance of my therapist, teachers and people around me, I was able to separate from my parents in the most favorable way for myself, master a profession, survive losses, war, divorce, emigration, learn to feel, living what I am filled with inside , sorting everything out.
Live when it’s scary and understand that it’s normal. Live and experience different experiences.
An important stage in my life - I learned to trust myself, my sensations, feelings, thoughts and outlook on life. And now I’m sure that only I know how and what’s best for me.
Why contacting me?

About Me
Finally, the time has come for personal acquaintance)
“I’m Alina. I’ve been doing psychology for a long time and thanks to the fact that I feel how it works, I confidently broadcast it to the world to my clients and people around me.
I am a practicing psychologist, body therapist, and leader of groups for teenagers and author projects in the past.
Now my attention and area of interest is focused on individual sessions/consultations.
I work with teenagers and adults with different needs.
Sometimes people come for advice and to find an answer to their question - and that turns out to be enough.
And some remain in long-term processes, where together we go through a sometimes difficult, but such valuable and important path of change.
I have more than 5.5 years of experience in individual practice; working as a psychologist in an ophthalmology clinic in the children's department; working in a rehabilitation center with clients with different addiction experiences; work on location in Europe with people experiencing war and loss; management of the psychological center; co-conducting author's projects.
You can talk to me about difficult and indecent things, about shame, fear, anxiety, lack of confidence - I am stable and can be there for you.
With me, you can talk about depth, if you have an interest in diving inside yourself and finding that hidden thing that is not visible and has not been noticed.
With me about safety. I follow the rules of confidentiality and ethics when working with people."
Education and training
“In my work, I use the Gestalt therapy method.
Namely, I work and pay special attention to those experiences, feelings, and states with which a person is now filled. What is important/relevant here and now and causes discomfort.
One of the goals of therapy is to help a person gain or renew contact with himself, his emotions and needs.
The process of change occurs through the expansion of a person's awareness of who he is now and the development of the potential that exists within him.
I also integrate positive psychotherapy techniques. art therapy, body therapy, systemic-family approach (including constellation techniques according to Helenger)"
