Nikita Konoplych

I am a psychologist by training and have been trained in therapeutic work in the Gestalt approach for nine years, seven of which I have been practicing.
Looking back on the path that led me to psychology and psychotherapy, I realize that it was a path of self-discovery. I remember well the feelings of confusion, powerlessness, and constant tension inside that would not go away and overwhelmed me.
At that time, however, I only knew how to look away and ignore them in every possible way, depriving myself of the opportunity to experience these feelings. My own therapy then opened up a new way for me to handle myself, to feel, to realize.
In the course of this path, which I still follow to this day, my view of the world, my attitude towards myself, life and people changed a lot. It transformed me, gave me the opportunity to shed the weight of the past, to free myself from values alien to me, picked up from the outside, to taste my own life, joy, inspiration, gratitude and inner peace.

I am now convinced that each of us needs this. I believe that the most important answers to life's impossible questions are born within us and can only be found there. I want to help my clients build this skill of finding themselves. I am interested in philosophy, the spiritual and transcendental perspective of being, and the ideas of holism. In my work I strive to combine this with a scientific and practical approach.
I try to create a safe space in the session where there is mutual respect, interest and harmony in the relationship.
