I've been where you are.
Before finding psychotherapy, I spent years running a production company, producing large-scale projects, and directing documentaries in a high-stakes, deadline-driven industry.
I know what it means to build a career on adrenaline and anxiety. I know the cost of the 200-metre tsunamis your imagination invents at 3 AM.
The shift happened when my company filmed a project featuring some of the leading psychologists in Moscow. Watching them work, I understood that a completely different way of living was possible. Not more successful on the outside — but grounded, alive, and free from chronic internal pressure.
I spent years dismantling my own walls.
What I bring into our work isn't just clinical theory applied from the outside. It's a deep, practical understanding of your world — because I have lived it.
I didn't read about high-functioning anxiety in a textbook. I lived it, dismantled it, and subsequently trained to help others do the same.
My first client came in 2015. Since then I have spent years in formal training across approaches I chose not because they were fashionable, but because they work for exactly this kind of problem.
Gestalt Therapy
Awareness, the present moment, and the direct experience of emotions — rather than theorising about the past.
ACT & CFT
Less about fighting your thoughts, more about changing your relationship to them and building a stable internal alliance.
Integrative Trauma Work
Understanding how early relational experiences shape the demanding, tense way you relate to yourself today.
The work is not quick. It requires honesty and a willingness to stay with things that are uncomfortable — not to endure them, but to transform them.
