3 reasons to get professional help from an English-speaking psychologist
- Adjustment in a new environment1. Living far from homeland entails lots of challenges on all levels: social, organizational, psychological. It might be overwhelming to keep coping with all that by yourself. It makes sense to get professional support and thus improve your emotional state. That will let you deal with challenges better
- Feeling isolation2. Leaving motherland means leaving a lot of valuable things behind (even if it is not forever). Language, people, surroundings, weather, culture - everything is different and not like it is in your country of origin. Maybe sometimes you feel isolated, when even a little thing like getting a coffee becomes an issue since people don't speak English and you don't speak Russian. All that brings up stress and frustration
- Need for psychotherapy3. If you had a therapist back at home it might be hard to make a pause in therapy because of big distance and time difference. Working with an English- speaking psychotherapist in St. Petersburg is a good option to keep psychotherapeutic process going
I have profound experience in helping clients to deal with the following issues:
- Going through losses
- Relationship problems (including cross-cultural couples)
- Emotional issues, anxiety
- Loneliness
- Lack of self-confidence
- Post-traumatic stress
