About the author of the blog
My name is Natalia Ladonycheva, I am a Psychology Graduate (Licensed Psychologist in Russia) and a Counsellor with wide experience working with people who have low esteem, anxiety, depression, career challenges, relationship issues, marital difficulties and everyday stress. I can assist you in developing the tools necessary to help you cope and lead a happier life.
My counselling practice started in 2011 after graduating from St. Petersburg State University in Russia. I have been helping my clients to realize and tap into their true potential, find the meaning of their lives and set up goals, overcome their fears and finally resolve whatever internal conflicts they are experiencing so they can create a better life. My counseling style is kind, warm, intuitive and supportive. I value each person I have the privilege to work with and prioritize your comfort within the counseling process.
Problems I am working with:
I integrate evidence-based treatment methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approach and Mindfulness-based treatment to help my clients to gain deeper insight and learn strategies to better manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that interfere with their overall well-being.
⇒ If you struggling with anxiety, panic attacks or depressive disorder
⇒ If you feel like you’re living someone else’s life, if you have no goals and feel lost, anxious, sad or hopeless
⇒ If you feel inferior and insecure, if you focus on your flaws and feeling worthless or incompetent
⇒ If you have relationship issues with your partner, family, friends or colleagues, or suffer from loneliness
⇒ If it is hard for you to make decisions, if you have impostor syndrome, if you want to move up your career ladder or plan to change your profession
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

* I am not taking new clients at the moment.
We will work together to help you get unstuck and create a better future for yourself. Therapy will help you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, become free of old patterns, or simply find ways to process pain or memories that have kept you feeling stuck so that you can focus your energy on what’s meaningful, productive, and fulfilling.
