Anastasia Patova

Therapist - Sessions offered in English, Ukrainian and Russian

I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and moved to Kiev more than 10 years ago. My way in psychology started after my daughter's birth. She was very naughty and sensitive simultaneously. In order to understand her I started my studies at Neufeld Institute (Canada) in attachment-based approach as a children and teens psychologist. Now she is 8 and my passion for psychotherapy grew up together with her.  I continued my training in psychoanalysis and post-jungian direction as an adult fairy-tale therapist, symboldrama and initiation therapist. My own early trauma experience with a toxic granny and divorce of my parents at age 5, as well as clients' requests, pushed me to start studying trauma therapy in Somatic Experience method and EMDR oriented techniques.

Now l deeply understand that psychology and therapy is the job of my life.
