I am Iryna, your expat psychologist in the Netherlands

I have a master's degree in psychology and six years of work experience in private practice and refugee locations for municipalities in North Brabant.

My approach is eclectic. I select and combine suitable tools from cognitive-behavioral, existential, client-centered, and EMDR therapy for each person.

From personal and professional experience, I understand the pressure of adapting to a new country. Together, we can build steadier ground for what comes next.

What the first steps look like

You've always handled things on your own, but you don't have to carry this alone. You're not broken, and you don't need a polished story before we begin.

01

Choose a time

Book an online appointment that fits your schedule. No waiting list.

02

Meet online

We talk in a calm, welcoming, non-judgmental space where you will feel heard and supported.

03

Build your foundation

Together we work with practical tools and a rational approach to bring clarity and steady progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers to help you take the first step with confidence.

How many sessions do I need?

It depends on your goals, needs, situation and desired changes. During the first session, we can discuss your needs to create a plan that works best for you.

How can I find my psychologist?

Choose a psychologist whose experience, approach, and communication style fit what you want to work on. A psychologist can help you understand your fears, needs, goals, and unresolved concerns, then offer practical ways to address them. Notice whether the therapist understands your concerns and explains how you could work on them together. If the approach does not help, another therapist or method may suit you better.

What are the benefits of working with you as my psychologist?

I focus on making your life easier, not intensifying your struggles, using practical tools and a rational approach. You will feel heard, supported, accepted, and never judged.

How can I understand that I need psychological help?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to cope with emotions, relationships, or life challenges, and the strategies that used to work no longer help, you may be seeking new tools to navigate the situation. Seeking support can provide you with clarity, relief, and effective strategies to improve your well-being and the comfort of your life.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic approach designed to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences and emotional distress. It involves guided eye movements while focusing on specific memories or feelings. This helps the brain reprocess those memories, reducing their emotional impact so the past stays in the past and does not control you in the present.

How can I better prepare for the first session?

Here are a few simple and useful tips: (1) Try to define your goal: think about what is bothering you and what questions you'd like to discuss; (2) Write down important thoughts if you are afraid of forgetting something or find it difficult to express your feelings; (3) Don’t worry if you don’t know where to start; this is completely normal and the psychologist will help guide the conversation; (4) Give yourself time after the consultation to transition calmly; and (5) Psychological change is a process that requires time and effort, a shared effort.

Is there something I can do before we meet to better understand myself?

Absolutely! We offer a free AI-powered temperament test that takes just 5 minutes and reveals your core personality patterns, how you work, recharge, and what motivates you. You'll receive a personalized analysis that can serve as a great conversation starter for our first session, or simply as a valuable tool for self-reflection. This free test can give you a clearer view of your natural strengths and tendencies. There is no obligation.

I've been working with Iryna for a few months now and already notice positive changes in my mindset and habits. She creates a very comfortable, open space where sessions feel more like natural conversations than formal therapy. She asks the right questions that help shift your perspective and see things differently, and gives practical tools you can actually use in daily life. I’d confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and effective therapist!
