Hello! My name is Semen, and I know that life is confusing. I am also a psychologist and an ACT therapist by training. In working with me, we will learn together to make small choices that, in the end, return us to the authorship of our own lives. To notice where we act on autopilot, where we try to escape from difficult experiences, and where we can take even a small but conscious step in an important direction for us. I work in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach, so therapy with me is not about getting rid of difficult thoughts and feelings. It is about learning how to give them space and at the same time not give them the reins: to act, choose and build your life, even when it is not easy inside. I do not have all the answers to all the questions, and I do not know how to live correctly for you, but I can help you figure out how you want to live. I also have personal experience with major life changes — military service, moving to another country, and the need to rebuild life in new circumstances. That is why I am particularly interested in working with themes of adaptation, loss of familiar landmarks, finding one’s place, and living in uncertainty. We cannot always choose what happens to us. But we can gradually regain our choice in how to live our lives.
