What my clients say
Psychotherapy is a deeply personal process, and finding the right therapist is an important part of it. Not every therapist is the right fit for every client, and that's perfectly normal.
Here, I've collected feedback from people I've worked with in individual therapy. Their experiences may help you get a sense of what it's like to work with me and form your own impression.

Psychotherapy is awesome but painful (not always though:)). I believe the most important thing is not only you being ready to work and put in your time, money and effort, but also your psychotherapist being able to be with you right here right now and supporting you no matter what. Jane can do that and she does that with skill ) And I always know that this contact is there (even when I am not in it).

Jane has been saving me. Without her I would not have survived. Every session she manages to find the words that help me move on. I have never had a more difficult time in my life, but I am holding on. And every day it is getting better and better. And despite being used to living in despair and frustration, it is now, when I am already forty, that I am starting to believe that my life can change.
Andrey -
Jane is a true professional and a very sensitive person. It is easy for me to tell her anything and after each session I go home with answers and understanding. I don't get a feeling that I am being analysed or "treated" (in the bad sense of the word).
Anastasia -
Psychotherapy has become a kind of fitness for me - it keeps my mind in shape) Life has become much easier. Not even that… This is a different quality of life) No self-torment, no guilt. I learnt how to feel sad or angry instead of shutting down on myself and my own feelings!
Vita -
During my therapy I was able to find the main causes of my problems and determine their solutions. I can already see the result and I have been able to change my attitude towards many things that prevent me from being happy. I appreciate Jane's approach to working with me - I receive clear and structured information about my personality; and she provides it in a way that lets me use this knowledge immediately and start enjoying life.
Mark -
I came to Jane in a very bad state - problems started to pile up high in all the areas of my life. After a few months of therapy the quality of my life started to improve. Jane managed to create a safe space where I feel comfortable but continuously work on my own self. I am not afraid to share the most intimate things with her, and her support gives me the strength to live and move forward.
Elena -
The decision to start personal therapy was one of the most difficult decisions in my life. My therapy reminds me of walking up a mountain through the jungle) It is hard and sometimes really painful. And I understand that there is a long way ahead of me)) But also I understand that there is progress!) It brings me great joy and inspires me to move on) I am so thankful to Jane for her impeccable professionalism, understanding and support.
Polina -
I came to Jane during a very tense and desperate period of my life - problems at work, no personal life, no willingness to live. We first focused on my personal life, then solved some other problems related to work, family and, most importantly, self-realisation and appreciation along the way. It's been a year and I still remember and use some of the tools Jane has given me and I feel at peace with myself.
Anastasia -
I was in my thirties and I had no family, no job, no hobbies, no home, nothing. Total lack of knowledge, understanding and confidence all came together in one heavy chain that was becoming heavier and heavier and immovable and that resulted in depression. So I came to Jane's office. I started feeling the change right away. And most importantly, I found myself. I understood who I was, what I wanted and what I needed.
Evgeniy -
Jane helped me believe in myself after a serious shock. Her work was professional but delicate; during sessions I would always feel calm and sense the atmosphere of trust. Jane never gives advice; rather, she makes me pay attention to some important things, gives me tools to help feel what is better for me, what is more useful and more effective. It has been many months of hard work but now I can truly say that I am living a happy life.
Kristina -
Before coming to Jane I had never visited a psychotherapist. I didn't even know how to choose one. I started therapy during a period of time when I could do nothing but go through my usual routine. I felt nothing and I wanted nothing. After 5 months of our sessions I feel alive again, I can feel that I can truly be happy and truly sad, I do sports, I easily get up in the mornings and I don't feel like I want to die every second of my life.
Olga -
Jane, you helped me realize and see another perspective on some life events that had been torturing me. You've given me real (!) tools of working on myself and they are still helping me))). Especially in stressful situations. I had been unable to deal with the situation for four years, and then you managed to resolve everything in just a few sessions.
