Therapy with Genia
A Space for You
to Breathe
I'm here to walk with you through life's hardest moments — with presence, compassion, and care.
Welcome
I'm glad
you're here
I work with what makes us human — grief and loss, relationships of all kinds (romantic, family, friendships, work), questions of meaning, loneliness, time, and purpose.
If you're feeling scared, uncertain, anxious, or just... stuck — that's already enough reason to reach out.
In longer-term work, we go deeper — exploring patterns, reactions, and what drives them. With commitment from both of us, real and lasting change becomes possible.
Even considering therapy is a brave step. You're already looking inward.
"I walk beside you, not ahead. Together, we explore what it means to be fully alive in this moment."

Relationships
Partners and intimacy · Repeating patterns in who you choose · Parents and family roles · Friendship, distance and drifting apart · Conflict and boundaries at work · Loneliness inside a relationship
Anxiety & feeling stuck
Constant low-level worry · Dread with no clear cause · Burnout and exhaustion · Procrastination and self-criticism · Shame and perfectionism · Anger you don't know where to put
Transitions & meaning

Individual Therapy
50 minutes€40–€100Read more... is a one-to-one space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a supportive and confidential setting. Using a Gestalt approach, the focus is on increasing awareness of your feelings, patterns, and relationships in the present moment.

Relationship & Interpersonal Therapy
50 minutes€40–€100Read moreThis session focuses on improving communication and understanding between people who share an important relationship. It can help address conflicts, clarify expectations, and find constructive ways to move forward. It is suitable for couples, friends, business partners, or individuals who want to reflect on and improve their relationships, communication, and decision-making in personal or professional contexts.
Bioethical consultation
50 minutes€40–€100Read more... a session where we talk through difficult ethical questions related to health, medicine, or life decisions. These situations can arise when people face complex medical choices, disagreements about care, or uncertainty about what the most ethical or responsible decision might be. During the consultation, we carefully explore the situation, clarify the values and concerns of everyone involved, and discuss the ethical principles that may apply. The goal is not to tell you what to do, but to help you understand the ethical aspects of the situation and support thoughtful, informed decision-making. This type of session can be helpful for individuals, families, caregivers, or professionals who want guidance when facing challenging questions about medical treatment, consent, end-of-life decisions, research participation, or other ethically sensitive issues.
How to begin
Write to me. A few lines about what brings you is plenty. If you'd like to begin soon, suggest three times that would suit you — dates and your time zone — and I'll check them against my diary.
I reply within two working days. Check your spam folder too — my mail provider is privacy-focused, which some of the big ones hold against it.
Telegram — good for a first hello; anything longer, let's continue by email.
