Hello! My name is Polina, I'm a psychoanalytic psychotherapist from Moscow, Russia.
I believe that therapy is a way for better leaving and feeling yourself. So when people ask me: Do I need a therapy? I always ask them: And do you want to leave happier?
I'm convinced that in our live there are some areas where we need other person to be by our side, someone who cares about us and ready to be with us in different feelings and experience.
If you're looking for that I will be glad to be the part of your therapeutic journey!

For me psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a way of thinking and constructing the unique communication between client and therapist. With the help of understanding different unconscious processes such as transference, countertransference, resistances and psychological defenses the analyst together with the client creates a secure space in which they could explore and improve wide range of difficulties which lead person to a psychotherapeutic room (or zoom 
).
Psychoanalytic approach is for those who tend to search rather than gain ready answers and it helps us together with our clients not only get rid of symptoms but deeply change their lives.
Psychoanalysis is about feelings. That’s why I’d like to end with my poem about this fascinating method:
I feel myself as an empty box
You can put inside everything you need:
All fears, hopes, despairs and blocks
Which are stopping you all last time indeed
I feel myself as a toungless guy
Who is blindly wondering around the street.
I'm not dreadful scared of this state somehow
Maybe nervous just for a little bit.
I feel myself as all others do.
Nothing special here. That is how we help:
Making safe connection of "me and you".
And then inner link between "me" and "self".
