Education in psychotherapy
Master the art of psychotherapy under the guidance of an experienced professional. It is, perhaps, the greatest profession on earth.
I adhere to psychodynamic and humanistic approaches and practice Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy according to N. Peseschkian.

Individual Work
This is a one-on-one format, available in person in Moscow or online.

Counseling
This is typically short-term work (up to 5 sessions) designed to help you get your bearings for independent progress. It is suitable for less complex issues.

Psychotherapy
This is deep analytical work that involves building a trusting relationship and analyzing unconscious conflicts, beliefs, transference, and countertransference. Sessions are usually held once a week over several months or years. It is a fascinating and revealing process of self-discovery.
Reasons for Seeking Help

The reasons to begin this work can range from a general dissatisfaction with your life or relationships to specific conditions such as depression, anxiety, psychosomatic complaints, sexual disorders, obsessions, addictions, a history of psychosis, personality disorders, and more.
Relationships are central to a person's life. Consequently, the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our relationships.
We are taught to read, write, and drive a car, but no one teaches us how to be a partner or a parent. So, we are left to learn on our own.

Couples Therapy and Counseling
In this format, both partners attend the sessions, and we work through their difficulties together.
When I see one individual, I hear their interpretation of events. When I see the couple, I can directly observe how they interact, communicate, and respond to one another.
This, of course, provides a much more reliable and complete picture.
A healthy family is not one without problems, but one that knows how to solve them!
Training program for group psychodynamic Positive Psychotherapy
The program is designed for 1 year and comprises 200 hours.
This includes:
• 53 hours of theory (20 sessions of 2 hours each)
• 132 hours of practice (50 sessions of 2 hours each)
• 50 hours dedicated to literature study and reflective reports
After nearly 30 years of practice, I am convinced that the most profound and lasting changes do not happen in isolation, but within the context of relationships. In this sense, group therapy is perhaps the best environment, as it is within our interactions with others that we encounter our true selves. And that encounter is full of surprises.
We get to know each other, we learn, we argue, we agree, we conflict, we reconcile, we provoke, we resist, we accept, we forgive, we befriend, and ultimately, we change.
It is a beautiful and profoundly useful experience.

The closed group therapy course consists of 25 weekly sessions, each 1.5 hours long. The group typically has 8 members, including both men and women. I run groups both in-person in Moscow and online, with participants joining from all over the world.

The full course fee is 1000 eur and is a fixed price, regardless of the number of sessions you attend.
Admission to the group is based on a brief introductory interview.

Individual supervision
Group supervision
Supervision is the analysis of a psychotherapist's work under the guidance of a more experienced and specially trained colleague, who holds the status of a supervisor. The goal is to enhance the effectiveness of the therapy being provided.

Supervision is a mandatory part of psychotherapist training and an integral component of professional practice. It is available in both individual and group formats, and I conduct both.

If you are interested in participating in supervision, whether individual or group, please feel free to contact me.
I am an international trainer in Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy and frequently teach in various countries around the world.

I regularly provide both individual and group supervision.
This involves a professional review of therapeutic cases, designed to help you increase your effectiveness as a psychotherapist.
If you are interested in individual or group supervision, please contact me, and we can arrange all the details.
Individual Supervision: Lasts 1 hour and costs 13,000 RUB.
Group Supervision: Costs 4,000 RUB per person. Conducted in a group of 6, we review 2 therapeutic cases over a 2-hour session.

I teach psychotherapy and lead both the Basic and Master Courses in Positive Transcultural Psychotherapy.
I also periodically conduct masterclasses and training sessions for professionals on the following topics:

- Conflict Analysis and Psychodynamics
- Psychotherapy of Psychosomatic Disorders
- Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
- Countertransference Analysis in Positive Psychotherapy
- The Psychotherapeutic Relationship
- Working with Resistance
- Emotional Safety in the Therapist-Client Relationship
- Other topics upon request

If you are interested, please feel free to contact me directly.
Dear Colleagues and Students,
I invite you to join a long-term online training program in Group Positive Psychotherapy. This is already the second intake; the first one is successfully underway.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for 28 years, and for 25 of those years, I have been teaching and providing supervision.
Since 1998, I have been continuously running psychotherapeutic groups. Today, I facilitate 6 ongoing therapy groups (both in-person and online) and 5 supervision groups, not to mention various training programs.
In short, I know a thing or two about groups. I have rich therapeutic experience, I am very fond of group work, and I highly recommend it.
In my opinion, the future belongs to group psychotherapy! It is one of the best ways to get to know yourself by immersing yourself in regular, reflective interaction.
I recommend that everyone try a course of group therapy at least once in their life. I assure you, many discoveries await you.

This course is designed for professionals (psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and psychologists). We will study the theory, but most importantly, you will learn group work from the inside by being a participant in a group.
Depending on the number of participants, we will form parallel groups of 8 people for the practical part. For the theoretical sessions, everyone will be able to attend together, while for the practice, each participant will join their designated small group.

The program is designed for 1 year and comprises 200 hours.
This includes:
• 53 hours of theory (20 sessions of 2 hours each)
• 132 hours of practice (50 sessions of 2 hours each)
• 50 hours dedicated to literature study and reflective reports
Yes, after each session, you will need to write a reflective report. There will be 50 in total, one for each therapeutic session.
For the first 5 months (20 weeks), theory and practice will run in parallel (2 hours of theory and 2 hours of practice per week).
The following 6 months will be dedicated to practical work in the group, including role rotation, changing groups, co-therapy, and processing.

The participation fee is 40 euro per two-hour theory or practice session.
Upon completion, a certificate of participation will be issued, indicating the hours that can be counted as Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
If you are interested in joining the program, please message me privately, preferably on Telegram.

Admission to the program is based on a brief introductory interview.
The program will start as soon we collect a group of interested. Lectures are tentatively planned for Mondays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM Moscow time. The final schedule will be confirmed once we have a clear understanding of the number of participants.
