You might be going through a life transition and feel lost in the process. On the surface, life goes on as usual, but inside you are on autopilot. Perhaps you barely have the energy for everyday tasks, and the things that used to bring you joy now feel empty. You might struggle with procrastination, or find yourself caught in the same frustrating patterns. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you have come to the right place.
Hi, I am Valentina. I am a psychotherapist based in Norway. I combine two therapeutic modalities Gestalt therapy and Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). Gestalt therapy focuses on awareness in the here and now, how thoughts, feelings and body sensations show up in the present. In sessions, we slow down, notice patterns and experiment with new ways of relating so you can make clearer choices. TFP is a psychodynamic method that focuses on strong emotions and shifting perceptions in therapy, working with them safely to develop a more integrated sense of self and others.
Psychotherapy is my second profession. My clinical training blends with previous leadership experience from finance and strategic consulting. This helps connect psychological insight with real world complexity in organizations and careers. I often support people through big transitions, new roles, new countries and new identities. I also help with burnout, procrastination and repeating negative relationship patterns. My working languages are Russian, English and Norwegian.
Coaching: focused support for leaders and specialists who face acute challenges, new role transitions, decision fatigue or risk of burnout.
Team sessions: workshops to strengthen collaboration, psychological safety and conflict navigation, drawing on group dynamics.
