Education & professional background
My life has been a journey — one that gradually led me to psychology.
I’ve had the opportunity to live in different countries and experience diverse cultures. I lived in Uzbekistan, Russia, and the UK; studied in Moscow and Cambridge; and worked in international corporations, start‑ups, and a family business.
I began my career in analytics and finance. The work was intellectually engaging and gave me valuable experience in structured thinking and decision‑making.
Over time, however, I went through a series of personal challenges. I found myself drained and feeling that my life had lost its sense of meaning, which led me to pause and reflect more deeply.
At that point, I asked myself a simple but important question:
What would truly make me happy?

My story: How I found psychology.
That question led me to psychology.
It wasn’t something I had planned. It felt more like a natural continuation of my search for understanding. I began exploring my inner world, undergoing my own personal transformation, and witnessing real change in my own life.

The deeper I went, the more I realised I wanted to share this process with others. I initially worked with fellow students and later with clients.
Over time, psychology grew from a personal path of transformation into a calling: helping others reconnect with their strengths, clarity, and direction.

Before moving into psychology, I spent more than 10 years working in finance, strategy, and investment management. My experience ranged from hedge fund start‑ups to institutional portfolio management at Legal & General Investment Management, as well as earlier roles in audit at KPMG and financial and analytical positions within a family business.

My academic background includes a master’s degree in Finance from the University of Cambridge and a degree in Public Relations from the Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow).
I completed a two-year training programme at the International Institute of Practical Psychology under the guidance of Alexander Shahov. I am also a PSYCH-K® Facilitator trained at the Basic, Advanced, and Master Facilitation levels.
This combination of structured thinking, real‑world experience, and psychological training shapes the way I work with clients.
