Зотов Кирилл (Saint Petersburg) Psychologist

My professional position is that strong and courageous people turn to a psychologist, because without these two qualities it is impossible to turn to a stranger for support, as well as to meet oneself in the process of psychotherapeutic work. I believe in my client, I know that every person who comes to me is unique and is able, together with me, to find the only correct solution to their problem, suitable only for him.

During a psychological consultation, any issues can be addressed, for example:

Difficulties in building relationships with people (partners, spouses, children, parents, friends)
Living through a difficult life situation or crisis
Finding yourself and your place in life, finding your way
Lack of self-confidence, difficulty accepting oneself
Experience of loneliness
Losing a loved one and experiencing grief
Anxiety, fears, panic attacks
Difficulties in choosing and making decisions
Difficulties in understanding yourself, your feelings, desires and goals

Features of individual consultation

The duration of the consultation is 50 minutes.
The number of meetings required to resolve the issue is very individual, but as a rule, after the first four consultations, clients report that they feel changes in their condition. After the seventh meeting, a new vision of the situation may appear, a feeling of lightness may arise, and sometimes answers to seemingly insoluble questions may be found. After the first ten meetings, you can summarize preliminary results, check the request and decide on further work. A lot depends on the age of the applicant; as a rule, younger people need less time to work through the difficulties that arise in life. The result of our work is sustainable personal changes (personal growth), which allow the applicant to solve any life issues independently in the future, relying on his own vision and resources, without further participation of a psychotherapist.

Features of family reception

Family reception with the participation of a co-therapist (colleague of the psychologist). The duration of the consultation is 1 hour 30 minutes. The work is carried out through circular interviews. It is advisable to come for a consultation as a couple or as a whole family, including children. During the consultation, my colleague and I will help you discuss pressing issues that are interfering with your relationship with your partner. Our task as psychologists is to help you see the unobvious and unspoken rules of your family, decipher the messages that your family members exchange daily, and create conditions for dialogue in which it becomes possible to resolve the most difficult issues.

Specialization

Individual counseling for adults and adolescents. Family counseling with a co-therapist.
