A family apart
Does this sound familiar?
- You're abroad with the children while your partner is in Ukraine, and everything rests on you.
- Video calls are getting shorter, and it feels like you're drifting apart.
- Worry for those at home won't let go — especially after news of attacks.
- Guilt: for leaving, for leaving your parents, for being safer.
- Visits every few months are joyful and very tense at the same time.
- You feel lonely even though you're "in touch" all day.
- It's unclear what your life together will look like.
How I work with this
A separated family is a long loss of the life you shared, even when everyone is alive and in touch. In therapy we make room for your feelings — loneliness, worry, guilt, anger — and look for what you can lean on here, where you are now.
I work individually — with you — and with couples. If you're both ready, we can meet as three online, even when you're in different countries. Couples therapy

What I don't do
I don't diagnose or prescribe medication. I don't work with children or with addictions. If I see that you may need clinical support — from a doctor or psychiatrist — I'll tell you and help you find your way.
I don't provide emergency help. If you are in danger right now or thinking about harming yourself, contact emergency services where you are. In Ukraine and EU countries, the emergency number is 112.
