About Me
Hello my dears,
I am Yuliya, a Clinical Psychologist (M.Sc.) and therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples and families in transition phases, including expats, internationals and those feeling stuck, out of place or lonely.
A little bit about myself: My journey began in Ukraine, where I was born and partially raised, before moving to Germany, where I spent the rest of my childhood and early adulthood. I completed my degree in Clinical Psychology there, gaining international experience through stays in the USA, Taiwan, Spain, and Portugal. These diverse experiences have deepened my understanding of various psychological approaches, methods, cultural norms, and nuances, allowing me to appreciate the unique backgrounds of my clients and integrate them into our work together.
I believe it’s essential to consider not just the individual but also the broader context around the individual: their personal history, social and family networks, and the internal patterns shaped in response to them. My goal is to help you understand what is happening, find your own personal resources and with this knowledge move forward and reshape your life.

Specializing in Relationships, Depression, Anxiety and Loneliness
Relationship
I help couples navigate conflicts and transitions using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Nonviolent Communication. Together, we learn to express deep emotions and needs constructively. I also support individuals after a breakup—processing pain, reflecting on patterns, and rebuilding confidence. For those ready to date, I offer tools to clarify relationship goals, address anxieties, and develop healthy communication.
Loneliness
Loneliness often arises when we lose connection—both with others and ourselves. Fear of rejection can make us hide parts of who we are, intensifying isolation and making vulnerability harder. In our sessions, we’ll explore your true self, uncover hidden parts shaped by shame or fear, and help you express your authenticity in a healthy, empowering way.
Depression
Depression often hides suppressed emotions and unmet needs—like helplessness, anger, or loneliness. When pushed down too long, these feelings can surface as apathy, low motivation, and a loss of joy. Together, we’ll uncover what’s behind these emotions and develop healthy ways to express them—especially anger—so you can reclaim your sense of control and agency, and pursue what you truly want and need.
Parenting support
Together, we explore your child's emotions and needs, manage conflicts, navigate transitions, and find a parenting style that truly fits. We’ll develop effective boundaries, fun ways to motivate your child—even with chores—and techniques for handling tantrums. With an emphasis on joyful communication and deep connection, I support you in building a confident, warm, and playful approach to parenting.
Anxiety & fears
We explore the deeper, protective roles of anxiety and fear to uncover new possibilities for growth. Through a gentle hypno-systemic approach, we connect your conscious and subconscious mind, revealing fresh perspectives and solutions. By combining inner imagery, somatic awareness, and systemic insights, we reduce the hold of anxiety and fear, making room for calm, courage, and trust in your ability to face life’s challenges.
Stress & Burn-out
I’ll help you navigate stress by identifying its root causes and reactivating your inner and outer resources. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory and other somatic approaches, we’ll reduce signs of stress and burnout, guiding you toward a balanced, more regulated emotional state and building greater resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
"For me, Yuliya has all the traits that I look for in a professional psychologist, such as being calm, observant, thorough, supportive, and honest. She has an unique ability to make all our sessions feel incredibly personalized. I got this sense already during our very first call and have now been consistently working with her for more than half a year on a weekly and bi-weekly basis. It shows that she is someone who has clearly spent a lot of time helping many people solve complex personal problems and I’m personally very happy with the effect it’s having on my own life.
Yuliya is able to provide high-quality sessions that make me forget that it’s happening online. I had never done online counselling before, but due to my lifestyle, it was a necessary step to make sure I can still talk to a professional even when I can’t attend physical sessions due to travels and schedules.
I would highly encourage anyone to consider her services regardless of what the topic at hand is."
