About Me
My name is Natalia and I‘m a psychotherapist with a strong focus on existential analysis and logotherapy. I hold degrees in physical culture and practical psychology and have pursued advanced training under Dr. Alfried Längle at GLE International.
My practical experience includes the psychosocial work at the Maimonides Center in Vienna, where I supported elderly patients and contributed to research in geriatric psychotherapy. During this time, I also gained additional specialization in gerontopsychosocial counseling and earned certification as a gerontologist. This comprehensive training deepened my understanding of the complex relationship between aging, mental health, and existential issues, allowing me to provide specialized support for older adults navigating life's later stages.
Currently, I serve as an online therapist at Thrive, a UK-based mental well-being company, where I provide online mental health support to clients worldwide. At Thrive, I apply evidence-based techniques to make mental health care accessible and effective in the digital age. My approach emphasizes presence and immediacy, allowing clients to engage deeply with the "here and now."
My Philosophy
Existential Analysis is a therapeutic approach guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Rooted in exploring fundamental existential questions of choice, duty, freedom, and responsibility, EA encourages self-awareness and meaningful living.
In Hic et Nunc Therapy, the focus is on the "here and now," integrating EA’s principles to encourage full engagement with the present moment and commitment to life without avoiding, postponing, or retreating into the past. This immediacy enables personal change, empowering you to take responsibility and live fully and freely up to your liking.
The approach invites you to explore the depth of human experience and confront life’s uncertainties with courage, fostering a deeper understanding of how to build a life where you actively shape your future through the choices you make today. By beginning this journey right here and now, you open the door authenticity and life fulfillment.
